Suibhne O'Piobaireachd and MtheGM, thanks for defining that term for me.

Somewhat off-topic:

Sharon, I've started to copy off of the people in California, Arizonia, New Mexico and other Western states in using the term "Anglo" for White people. By extention, "Anglo-American colloquialism" are colloquialisms that are likely to be known by Anglos (White people) in the USA, and may not be as commonly known or as well know among Black people (African Americans).

See this Wikipedia page about the term "Anglo-American":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-American

Here's an excerpt from that page:

"English American, a North American of English heritage, origin, or background
Pertaining to Anglo-America, a term denoting an area of mixed English and American influence or heritage, or those parts of or groups within the Americas which have a tie to or which are influenced by England; or simply English-speaking America.
The Anglo-American ethnic group, a person who is European American or English Canadian."

However, I have a problem with this part of that definition as it is now given: Anglo-American- "a person who is European American or English Canadian" because there are People of Color who are European American and English Canadian.
