OP "Finally, there is the verb-phrase, to carry on. In the United States it means to make a great pother; in England it means to persevere. But the record must have an end."
The most frequent use of "carry on" that I remember was in Basic Traing in the Army, when an officer was leaving room where EM were at attention.
