You haven't lost your American sayings even after all these years of traveling from a young age.
Lift, shopping, motorway, pavement, (instead of Elevator, Grocery Shopping, Freeway, Sidewalk) :) there is that funny clip of Micheal McIntyre on US sayings - (1) Americans Don't Understand English | The Jonathan Ross Show - YouTube ...

@mightymisery11 months ago Depending on your age/where you're from in the uk, we also use "sweet, in a bit" (see you soon) or simply "love" (I have love for you, I'll see you soon) instead of "bye"

@xenopath869211 months ago never actually thought about it but the idea of outright saying bye to anyone feels weird to me

@lucchese2011 months ago That’s because “goodbye” is akin to addio (in Italian), adieu (in French), adiós (in Spanish) or adeus in Portuguese. These terms basically mean “To God” or “God be with you.” This term, at least in Italy, is mostly used when someone passes or something ends. Apparently use of goodbye in the UK is closer to its actual meaning whereas in American English ‘bye’ or ‘bye-bye’ are used differently. 👋🏻 ... 1
