THE
POND
In
modern times, some idioms refer to the Atlantic Ocean in a humorously
diminutive way as the Pond, describing both the geographical
and cultural divide between North America and Europe, in particular
between the English-speaking nations of both continents. Many Irish
or British people refer to the United States and Canada as "across
the pond", and vice versa.
(From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
ACROSS
THE POND
(idiomatic)
On or to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
We flew across
the pond.
The latest Woody
Allen movie was very popular on both sides of the pond. It
was praised by critics and popular among cinemagoers.
Many American
actors are starring in plays in London's West End. But this is
Shakespeare’s territory and I think the best theatre is still on
our side of the pond!
