Haha...for some reason, I like the Brits words. Although it's purely from watching Top Gear, I use the words "astonishing" "epic" and I even started using "petrol" sometimes (but that one has more reason, as it confuses my European family when I say "gas", as they assume a gaseous substance, and the word gasoline irks me for some reason)
