Reminds me of my mum Her comments ranged from "That's very nice", via "nice" and "not very nice" to "not nice". Tone of voice was everything.

No "quite"s?

"Quite" is one of those words I want to use a lot (because a like it) and don't at the same time. I think it's one of those words one doesn't learn as a 2nd-language learner until one move here. E.g., can mean "yes" for example: "It's really cold today, don't you think?" "Quite".

Also, phrasal verbs in general are a nightmare. Such a fertile ground for misunderstandings.

It's one of many things people I talk to often wish they had known. I am not sure if I knew this before moving here, but it's certainly not something we do where I'm from.

I've had a few situations abroad where people are positive about something and I presume it's sarcasm
-
That is a little bit sad TBH. Another thing about the UK that many comment on is how hard it is to actually get into a physical confrontation. This is obviously a very good thing.
-
Verbal confrontation = easy. Physical = almost impossible.

Another one is "character". From harrowing "character building" to unique, quirky and tasteful...

Reminds me of a time I played a show at a bar (I was doing noise) and the bassist from the other band said my set was “interesting.”
