As a Brit in the US with young children, I use a shitload of phrases that "aren't me". But I'm a big fan of "adapt and survive" so it just makes me laugh when I hear myself saying "that was awesome, dude, give me a high five!".
I have yet to say:

It's gotten cold.
but I'm sure it's only a matter of time. I don't care. I love language. I see beauty, history and culture in the differences.
