I love it!
I think some of the funniest phrases are said in everyday life over there. We were driving down the road, and the wife of our host gets a call from the babysitter. She talks to the babysitter for a few seconds then hangs up. (Bear in mind these are first time parents and their child has them wrapped around her finger)
Wife: "Wayne, Millie is crackin' the shits"
Husband: "oh no, do you think we should go back"
My husband: "is there something wrong"
Husband: "Oh every time we leave her behind she cracks the wicked shits"
Me: "Oh my god, is she going to be OK?"
This goes on for a while before I realize that Millie is throwing a fit at the babysitters, and not having some kind of bowel issue.
Oh - speaking of bowel issues, I love that toilet paper is called Poo Tickets!
