Popular Phrases

"New" phrases stopped for awhile. But over just the past few weeks, I've learned a number of new ones. And even some that aren't appropriate to share! 

Jam tomorrow - promised benefits that never arrive. 

Rock up - cool way to say you're arriving somewhere, with a touch of "I'll bring the party". "We could rock up in togas and see what happens"

Blue peter. I think it's a tv show and I think it can somehow mean "in draft form". I'm not sure I understand this one :)

Ok here's another one that's popped up a couple times that isn't quite word for word but you'll get it. 
"Can't polish poop but you can roll it in glitter"

Starter for 10. This one has really popped up a lot lately. I almost wonder if I've missed it over the year. It basically means "ice breaker" or "quick way to get us started for a few minutes".

It certainly makes me wonder which American sayings would be completely foreign to others...
