    On an English-speaking site, surely!

    But it’s also an international phrase instantly understood across a range of cultures and languages. Plus, I’d say that Zach and his audience tending to be pretty well-educated and intelligent on the whole, they’d tend to appreciate the little twist.

      Haha, I do see that I’m being anglo-centric with that.

      The phrase just totally didn’t stick in my brain when I was reading about it. I appreciate that I’m probably in the minority, though - I just wouldn’t have recognised it immediately!

        Understood, and appreciate!

        Meanwhile, I wouldn’t have the slightest clue about how to say that in Aztec, anyway. :S
