I just thought of a phrase not to use. Don't talk about "knocking someone up". It doesn't mean knocking on the door.

lol. we also use that with a double edge in England. Probably means the same thing.
I remember as I was entering the Newark airport that I shouted to our friend from PA that I would give them a "tinkle" when I got home. Strange looks where many.

In answer to your question, the UK stands for "United Kingdom" and "US" stands for "United States". Some might even use "USA". That stands for "United States of America".......And as others mentioned, DON'T FORGET TO TIP!

- You can order drinks in cups that are literally a 1/4 gallon in size
- You can instantly make friends with any American by saying bad things about the French
- At four way stops the guy on the right has the right away, if four people show up at the same time work it out amongst yourselves (in reality 4-way stops are a type of passive population control device)
- Many people freak out abut smoking anywhere, be warned we have tobacco nazis here
- Some parts of the larger cities are not safe, be careful where you go
- If you have toddlers do not leave them unattended ever.

Eman,
It is proper and expected to pinch a female waitresses on her bum just like they do in Italy. They like that much better than a tip.
If you go into coffee shop called "Starbucks" just ask for a cup of coffee. If the person asks you what kind of coffee, just say "the kind that comes from a coffee bean ya moron". They'll know exactly what you want. After they give it to you, it is proper to take a few dollars out of their tip cup as a symbol of appreciation by you for them getting it right.
If you go to one of our finest American drive through restaurants, when you get to the little order area, and they ask you if you would like to try their new chalupa, tell them if you wanted a god damned chalupa, you'd order it. Take all the time you want to order and don't feel bad about canceling something and ordering something else several times. If they don't understand what you are saying, simply tell them you are speaking English and they'll understand the problem. They love it when they get it right at the drive through window. Don't look into your bags until you are miles away. It is considered improper to check the contents of your bag while you are still sitting at the pickup window. If you do not end up with a straw, just suck your drink out of the convenient little hole they provide at the top of the sure grip drink lid.
If you happen to go to a Thai restaurant, order everything "spicy with five***** stars after it. At our Thai restaurants the "spicy" level is a lot like our beer. One star is like our lite watered down beer and five stars is like your English beer, a lot more tasty. Make sure you eat one of those dark red things that looks like a litter pepper first (it's a dark red breath mint bean) , they will protect your tongue in case you accidentally eat a piece of hot chicken or shrimp and it makes our beer taste better than you have ever tasted it.
If you do drive and a cop drives by you, it is proper to wave at him with your middle finger pointed up in the air. That means "I own a doughnut shop." Cops love doughnuts and they will turn on their lights and siren as a show of appreciation and then let you drive faster than anyone else on the road as they drive behind you and give you a personal escort to wherever you are going.
If you are staying at a friends house and someone calls there, answer the phone. If it is a person that says they are calling from AT&T, (That is the American national free lottery) tell them you want to order or change anything they offer. This puts you high up for the chances for winning the lottery. The friend who's house you are staying at could win up to two hundred million dollars. They will definitely thank you for doing it.
That's about it Eman, have a nice visit.
