Name A Literary American Quote No Brit Would Ever Understand And Vise-Versa For The Yanks
My choices -
Roger Angell's "Willie Mays' glove is where triples go to die".........No Brit is going to know what the fuck this dude is talking about.
Conversely no true American red, white and blue through and through is going to understand Evelyn Waugh's : 'I never imaged I'd end up on queer street with a sticky handful of spotted dick."
