I love the culture interchange on this website.  I thought "my bad" was a 
world wide slang term now, too.  The one term that the British use that 
still shocks me is "knock you up".  Perfectly harmless in England.  Means 
something COMPLETELY different over here!  (to get someone pregnant! 
aughh!)
