Tacky Herbert

English description of a grubby or dishevelled person, usually involving mess, spills and a general disregard for their appearance.

Mum wiping mud and sticky sweets of her kids with spit and a hanky; "You are such a Tacky Herbert".

Thanksgiving

The day that all Americans who work with non-americans go on and on about to excuse themselves from accepting more work - implying they will be absent and their office closed for ages, when actually it is just a single day!

Los Angeles: "oh we couldn't possibly guarantee that small project request because we have Thanksgiving coming up in three weeks".
UK: "but that's like one day!"
