??? Is this not an extremely common phrase? I'm not from the UK (or the US) but... I've never considered this phrase is not known in America?

- polka_haunts_us 6y agoI am American, I know what it means, I expect a majority of people in the US don't. It's not a word in common usage in American English.
- garmaine 6y agoIt's not a term used in America, outside of some extremely old black-and-white movies. Still I'd be surprised if someone born and educated here didn't know what it meant, since it must have been encountered in books or film or something.
- kortilla 6y agoNot in the US. It’s mainly thought of as an “old English” word. It hardly ever appears so you usually learn the length some time in school and then subsequently forget it.
