Lovely and Brilliant

British people use lovely and brilliant quite a bit.

Lovely is used when something tastes good or if you agree with something. Also similar to how we use "nice" in the United States.

Brilliant is used if something goes well. Sometimes brilliant and lovely can be used interchangeably.

Great colloquialisms (is that a word)? Not sure I would ever tire of hearing that, given the uncommon use of those words in the States.
