America has to get a king and queen. we're missing out on some fun.

And question for the English here, Do America's Royals get scoffed at unless they have hemophilia?

I reckon you can have Harry and Meghan. The Brits don't want them anymore.

Those two seem to have lost a lot of public support.

I was kinda thinking having an American flavor to it. Elvis for King, Wanda Sykes is queen :-)

Me neither.

How about 'Toodle Pip'

After which one would be 'pushing up the daisies', being as 'dead as a doornail.'

'It just isn't cricket.' If something is underhand/unfair/generally unwholesome.

And of course we haven't got into cockney rhyming slang yet.

Here's a couple off the top;

'Skin and blister' (sister)
'Plates of meat' (feet)
'Trouble and strife' (wife)
'Dog and bone' ('phone)

Oh, I dunno, I rather get the impression that the usual attitude is more "good on them for getting away from the English press" than "good we're rid of them".
