Oh dear,
here we go again. That phrase which would be instantly recognisable by any
Brit means absolutely nothing to anyone outside these islands.
It was a catchphrase invented by Kenny Everett a comic of whom no American
has ever heard, and has become part of the language here. No wonder that you
didn`t pick up on it.
Its a complicated old world.
Cheers
