I don't think this particular phrase works. The American English version is fine, kind of sassy. But the UK version is clunky and unsavoury.

Please can we stop using it? Thank you.

I like it and find it very expressive. I will probably continue to use it.

What is the American English version?
I've never heard the expression.

I can't believe people haven't come across it on tv, books, on social media etc.
