	'Pavement' is not slang, it's a regular English word. 'To throw a spanner in the works' is not slang, it's a regular idiom, or figure or speech. And surely 'piece of cake' is not only not slang, but it's not solely British either, since the phrase originated in the US. An interesting quiz otherwise.

	I agree about pavement. Also "Chin wag" is "A chat" not "TO chat". Also please correct spelling to "suRprise".

	At her majesty's pleasure refers to those serving time in prison, but not those who are arrested. Obviously not everyone who is arrested goes to prison.

	As an American, we definitely say "grub" too, and I've heard (and use) "hunky-dory," "twit," and "taking the piss out of someone" enough that I wouldn't think of them as British, even if they're less commonly used here. I've never heard "taking the mick out of someone," though, so I imagine that's British only. Also, since spanner=wrench, we have the identical phrase "to throw a wrench in the works"
