    Dodgey jammer. (The spelling may not be right.) UK saying for a cookie with a bit of jam in it. US we call them thumbprints, although there's a bit of difference in the "biscuit" too.

    Too cute, UK sayings! It's like learning you mother tongue (if your US ancestry hails from that region, think many of us do).

    Pudding is also a great one. If i tell dh were having pudding (Yorkshire pudding) he's terribly confused. Always, "where's the pudding?".

    That's a Jammy Dodger...

    UK (Bum Bag) = US (Fanny Pack)
    UK (Braces) = US (Suspenders)
    UK (Spend a Penny*) = US (Take a whizz)
    UK (Sod Off) = US (Take a hike)
    UK (Oops) = US (DOH!)
    UK (bit of bother) = US ( World War 2)

    *because the first public toilets required the use of an old style penny coin to open the cubicle door
