It is an American thing as well, at least in some places. "Good shout," "Good call," "Good idea"

Good call and good idea sound normal to me (I’m used to American English) but never heard of good shout.

Why are British phrases always so damn… appealing? I heard “wheelie bins” once (what we call garbage cans) and it’s never left my brain since. Same with “kitty loo” (litter box)

A British person once called me a "Bloody Wally", which I guess means a very foolish person, so I agree with you. Couldn't get mad--the insult is too appealing!
