This phrase is often used in British novels and I laugh out loud each time I read it! Of course it's the British version of "Keep your shirt on" but it's so much funnier and I can always picture this.
There are so many British terms I love such as "the penny dropped" but this is my all time favorite!

I love some of the British expressions as well. One of my favorites is from Mary Poppins. "Close your mouth Michael, we are not a codfish". Don't know why it always makes me laugh, but it does every time.

I too giggle at some of the English terms...my newest laugh came from the phrase "They had a wobbler" referring to having a temper tantrum. It made me LOL!

I'm watching Graham Norton's show right now. By the time I finish an episode I'm thinking with a British accent. I wonder how long Michael Sheen is going to let his hair get.
'Gobsmacked' is one of my favs.
I love to hear expressions from different countries. There are also Yiddish words or expressions that I really love.
