"Get"

Is "Get" really an American-only thing?

ie: "Can I get a burger?" "Can I get a large Coke?"

Nah, it's in Australia as well. I use "grab" though, as in "I'll just grab a burger".

I'd say "have" in nearly every situation like that

I think that's right proper Oxford English like

Yea I know its slang, but wasn't sure if it was American slang or what.
