Re: Are \'bollocks\' sometimes on US tongues these days?
[ QUOTE ]
I don't know about bollocks, but the phrase "pop in" has caught on, at least in NY. As in, "I have to pop in to the store to buy some milk." Also "bloody" as in "that bloody cab almost ran me over"

I didn't even think of this as a Britishism.
I've heard it all my life, and I grew up in Guam and Hawaii. Now I live in California and hear it once in a while over here too. I've never seen anyone not understand it.
