I need you to understand how funny this is to me. I just found out North Americans use "top-shelf" to mean a generally positive adjective, a compliment, only when I had to double check for my own sanity whether or not a journalist referring to a singer as "top-shelf" knew the meaning of the phrase they were using or if they really were describing this man as someone you could not bring on morning radio.

I’m curious to know because I feel like ‘whilst’ is falling out of use, whilst in some situations I would feel I couldn’t not use it (like above, which is a correct usage of whilst 😉).

Just found out that a “fancy dress” in the US is formal wear and I’m glad no one told me the “dress code for prom is fancy wear”

Whyyyy is it that in a single country garage and Farage don’t rhyme, here’s looking at you, Britain!
