The British use this word so indiscriminately that it seems to have lost all meaning:
"Brilliant".
Someone places a cup of coffee in front of you and it's "brilliant!"
Anything and everything that pleases folks is deemed "brilliant"!

Another Anglicism I heard untold numbers of time during a visit to the U.K.:
"Thank you very much, indeed!"
Perhaps it was used more by older Brits than younger ones, but it was tossed out there like the U.S.'s "Have a good day!", with all the sincerity that phrase carried.

"you're just not my type"
heard that about 456 times in my 23 years, but I've got a good feeling about #457
Even better...
"Can we just be friends?" ...urp...

I loathe it when people say "good times."

I don't know, if said with the right inflection after recounting a very bad situation in your life, it can still get a laugh. There's still omse tread on this tire.

Most of these kinds of phrases go away eventually.
For example:
"Ten, twenty, thirty"
"23 Skidoo"
"I love my wife, but oh, you kid!"
"The cat's pajamas"
"Crazy, man!"
"Tell it to the judge"
"In the groove"
"Jivey"
"Zoot suit with the reet pleats"
"Shim, sham, shimmy"
"Well, all right"
"Kilroy was here!"
"Don't get your knickers in an uproar"
That is, unless a few of you are still using them!.....
