What is your favorite British slang term or phrase?
I've recently become fascinated with trying to imitate those witty Brits and their catchy lingo, so I would like to know your favorite slang term or phrase and what it means.

My favorite British expression is "Do you want me to knock you up?"
In England, this means "Do you want me to wake you in the morning?"
In the US, it means "Do you want me to get you pregnant?"
It's such a wildly different meaning for the exact same phrase, and every time I hear it, it just knocks my hat off and I fall off my chair laughing!
