Dear Canadian and Indian ex-coworkers of mine - what are some common colloquial phrases you might have used at work that I, as an American, would have been unfamiliar with?

I'm thinking like "Tickety-boo", "Bob's your uncle", "Do the needful", etc...

LA, where you celebrate the Dodgers win by sitting in huge traffic jams. LOL.

Specifically on his most recent video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu6RidujRbM) , he calls out that he likes to engage with people that don't agree with him 100%, but that the birdie site (X) is full of people who are, ya know, sad and actually seem to love fascism (to the extent they are actually not just bots).

I don't agree with Ray 100%, and I'm no longer a city nerd, I'd like to think that I'm exactly the person who would productively engage in discourse with him on social media.
