My first WTF moment with British English was walking into a restaurant & the hostess asked: “are you alright?”. “Do I have a bloody nose?” I quaked. Turns out it was just how folks say “what’s up?” as a hello there.

First time starting work in a London office it took me months to get used to the morning greeting: 'Rye?', which is just short for 'How are you doing, alright?'
