American Slang

On my recent trip to Vegas my sister kept telling me off for using American language. I ignored her, as usual.

Today when placing the ECG leads on a patient the anaesthetist apologised for getting in my way, and I said "Don't worry it's all good."

Then I paused, wow, was I glad nobody from home heard me say that. What a loser!

Who says, "it's all good?" apart from Americans.

What is all good exactly I thought? Certainly not being up at work earlier than 8 am.

Other words I have been using, laugh at will...

"That's hot"

"Sup?"

"Have a good day"

"Wicked cool" That is particular to Boston area.

"Have a good one" Again I am not sure, a good what??

Fortunately I haven't stooped to saying, "My bad" which means "I am sorry". All this stupid American talk makes me sounds like a real monkey.

I have to get home!
