That I can understand. Every diner waitress and barmaid from New York to LA will have endearing names for customers like "hun" or "sweety", it's just some of the other British mannerisms and figures of speech I don't get. Your comedy I don't get either; it's all dry and insinuating; it's hard to describe. There's just a different set of cues, moods and tones that don't translate well. American and British English are very different from one another.
