2016, Someone Somewhere remarked:
There's a USA-ian meme along the lines of "I can't imagine how bad
something is". But they don't mean they are incapable of imagining it,
rather it's almost "I can't imagine (as in realistically foresee) such a
bad thing happening within my locality".

checks locality

Nope, still not in the USA...

In other news, some USA-isms travel to the UK. Didn't they teach you
that in Globalization 101?
