I'm more curious about the first word in that article - is "dodgy" becoming accepted as part of the US English vernacular now? It's particularly common in Aus English but I usually have to find alternatives when conversing with Usonians.
Now that I think about it, dodgy isn't used everywhere but it wouldn't feel out of place if someone used it here in the US unlike other commonwealth words like bonnet or solicitor.
I'm an american. It isn't common, but it is common enough that when it is used it doesn't stick out as an out of place word. I use it myself once in a while.
