I believe if you look a little further up in the thread,you will see it was decided it was George Bernard Shaw who said:

"England and America are two countries separated by a common language."

What Walter said...."kit" or "kit up" is frequently used in US SO units, but is in fact, borrowed from the Brits....

Well ... let's be sure to return it when we are done with it. I never "kit up," I "dress in."

PS, not only can it be "raining cats and dogs" it can also be "raining stair rods" if you are in the right part of the country

Quick word of warning, never ever ask a female British diver to "get her Kit off", may lead to a serious slapping.

If it's a debt to be paid in words, perhaps you'll choose English as a medium of communication?
If only for the irony.

I don't know Dan, but all the Brit military I've been fortunate enough to instruct in one thing or another have always told me they owed me one......
