♥ ♥ ♥ everything in this comment!

All the little things: lift/elevator, flat/apartment, mad/crazy, at school/ in school, at university/in college, in hospital/^in the hospital, pants/underwear, trousers/pants, top/shirt (for guys), jumper/sweater, pub/bar, etc. etc. They can knock you right out of a fic if they take you by surprise.

The only thing more confusing is that Americans sometimes will jokingly use Britishisms for fun (hipsters, word nerds like me) and you have to decide if that character would actually use that reference, or if it's an author oversight. Because, hey, there are a lot of smart, witty characters in this fandom and some of them like to talk the fancy talk!

Speaking to the actual topic: I think you could just say something like "Clint, get your huge, dirty hooves off the table!" and everyone would totally get it. ;D
