Yes, the US has screwed that saying up pretty badly, and it annoys me as well when people use it wrongly, but having lived in the UK for 4 years at one point in my life, I can safely say that many people in the UK manage to mangle English pretty badly also..... not just in terms of phrases, but in swallowing whole syllables in words. Some Brits can't even understand each other! (e.g. Geordies and Cockneys)
