Jen: Hey fellow Texan, Tonya! I've been able to use "budge up"
and "budge along" in context (I think). Oh, and "enough to be going
on with....". I don't think I'm brave enough to attempt Wotcher,
yet.
Also waiting to use Ruddy and "All right then?" instead of the
American version, "Are you OK?" or "everything alright?"
