The 'cutting the cheese' incident reminds me that I read that 'breaking wind' means 'farting' (anyone know the origin) in Britain. So if you were to go into a London store, you probably don't want to ask for a 'windbreaker'. I think they use a slightly different term.
I used to love the phrases used on "McCloud".
'Rode hard and put away wet'.
I'm not sure about this one - "Wherever you go, there you are".
