Britishisms

British English seems so much richer and funner [sic] than North America English.

I much prefer whilst to while or whinge to whine, for example.

Sue and I laugh every time the sex act is referred to as getting your leg over, but isn't it just about perfect?

Then there is How's Your Father, which "derives from an old English music hall sketch or skit by the comedian Harry Tate. He'd be having a conversation, get tangled in a series of accidental double-entendres and innuendos and try to escape the tangle by asking, “How's your father?” as an innocuous social question."

Of course, in my life, I have only heard to refer to the sex act as in the second definition, below. I love it.

Speaking of the sex act, I have been reading some Victorian novels and love how they referred to it as congress. Isn't that so much better than "have sex?" 

I thought that I was done, but now I am remembering Inspector Morse, who poked fun at his young sergeant, Detective Lewis who would modestly refer to it as rumpy pumpy.

I'm sure that there are many more, but those are the ones that come to mind this morning.
