I came across this site today, which has a list of UK expressions that are apparently unknown in the US. Some of it is rather funny.
'ROUNDABOUT n. 1. Traffic circle. A British version of billiards played with automobiles. This is an attempt by the British to avoid the dilemma Americans have when four cars come simultaneously to a four-way stop. The British solve this by allowing everyone to continue into the intersection without stopping.'
