This is interesting because I'm from the U.S., and I've never heard some of these expressions! "Cream-crackered," "Costs a bomb," and "It's gone pear-shaped" must be common in the UK because I've never heard them here in the U.S. Another reason it's hard to learn English--so many differences between American and British English!

I heard a lot the expression "pardon my French" but I thought it's when someone isn"t sure how to say a word or an expression he says "paron my French" now I got it thank you. You know what's funny, in Quebec Canada as you know people speak french over there, they are speaking in French and when they want to say an expression or like a cote in English they say "en bon français' which literally means "in a good French" and they say it in English, very confusing for a nonQuebecois !

Andrea I hear a lots of different british accent in movies and tv shows, now I got used to your accent and I would like to know which part of the UK are you from so when I hear someone speaks with your accent I will know where he is from, I got used to one of the X factor judges accent and she is from Esses now when I hear someone speaks with the same accent I know they are from Essex, I like to recognise where people are from juste by leastning to their accent, that is the reason I am asking you which part of the UK you are from, and you don't have to answer my question if you don't feel confortable to, thank you.

Just so you know, "Voilà" takes a grave accent on the a and btw, accute accents do not exist on a in French (can't even type it), but then I'll - literally - pardon your French on that one :) About "Cat got your tongue", I don't know either where it comes from, but we have nearly the same one in French (although we don't use it very often, considered a bit childish) : "Tu as donné ta langue au chat ?" (Did you give the cat your tongue?). Well words and expressions going back and forth between French and English is quite documented... But who invented this one?
