"Yute" (or "yoot") for "young person" (youth) is definitely North American, and I was surprised to see it on a list of British slang expressions.

Of course, the term has been most famously propagated by a Hollywood film ("My Cousin Vinny"), which has been distributed worldwide (if only because of supporting actress Marisa Tomei's Oscar-winning performance).

In the film, the expression is presented as the product of an extreme New York City accent, spoken by Joe Pesci's character and indecipherable to the Southern judge in whose courtroom he is presenting arguments. ("The two yoots? What are you talking about?")
