'the wild blue yonder' (imples you don't know exactly where); 'across the pond' (means America when spoken in Britain)
"In foreign" is a local expression here
Do mean if an expression used abroad is used here?
Can think of any? I've heard Americans use sayings i thought to be of British origin, but there no translation issues there.
I like the French "L'esprit de l'escalier" it means "Spirit of the Staircase"
"The phrase can be used to describe a riposte to an insult, or any witty, clever remark that comes to mind too late to be useful--when one is on the "staircase" leaving the scene." - Wiki
How about" foreign climes "or even "out of the country"?
'overseas', 'distant climes', 'distant lands', 'distant shores,' 'foreign parts', 'foreign lands', 'foreign shores', and many more.
