I don't think that it would be a 'UKism' on such an American show.  One of
the same players later questions was regarding which countries the Bering
Straight separates.  The player had to ask the audience, and 8% of the
audience said it was Canada and the US!  D'oh!

Last night on WWTBAM one of the players' early questions was 'Which of the
following would be considered a plush toy?'
A) A Beanie Baby
B) A Lego set
I can't remember C and D but they were both fairly useless.
Good to see they said Lego set and not Legos.

This must be a UKism, as we don't use that phrase much. Beanie Babies are
"stuffed animals" I think. Of course, stuffed doesn't carry quite the
negative connotation in the US.
