One phrase I often hear used nowadays which drives me bananas (anyone know the derivation of that one?) is "The proof is in the pudding". The correct phrase as I know it is "The proof of the pudding is in the eating", which makes sense. Someone referred earlier to American hyperbole. An Irish sports commentator recently used that word, but pronounced it Hyper-Bowl. Sounds like a good name for an American Football trophy to me. I wouldn't be surprised if there was already one with that name.
