Quote: I'm sure there are about as many English people who say "cheerio" as there are Americans who say "tootle-pip"
(embarrassed) I say cheerio all the time. (And that's even without my going to the US, which always makes my language veer towards the stereotypically British: I start saying things such as "right-ho, chaps".)
I'd guess the nearest US equivalent to "cheerio" is "ciao".
