I can't say I was disappointed by the Giles resolution, just because even before I was spoiled for it, I never thought for a moment that he was dead.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm definitely not American and i use the phrase often
I'm not American either, and I use it, ironically or by mistake. But neither of us are undead folk who were busy pillaging Europe in the 80s.
I don't think.
If he was quoting Passions or Sid Vicious lyrics, I'd get it. I just can't see him in the Ghostbusters frame of mind.

wasn't Spike in the US in the 1980s? Did he leave after killing Nikki in NYC in the 1970s?
Spike is very pop-culture aware. I'm sure he would know Who You Gonna Call?, Where's the Beef?, and other such phrases.

Dru was recovering from what happened in Prague when they first showed up in Sunnydale, so he went back to Europe somewhere in between. But the exact itinerary has never been stated in canon.

Vienna was where they were before they came to Sunnydale, so I'd kinda moved them out for the 80s. Spike wouldn't have stayed here once the fashions changed, anyway.
"Where's the beef?" Hmm. Maybe. None of my friends in HS knew it. I only know it now from watching best of ad compilations. When was it from?

1984

Yeah, I didn't come up on that phrase until the 90s. I just think that N. American pop culture references are best put in the hands of the people who've expressed a general (Buffy) or geeky (Andrew/Xander) interest, rather than Spike, or Giles, or Wesley. For them I need to know ahead of time, like Dawson's Creek (though that's contemporary) or Bay City Rollers.
Otherwise my lines start to bleed.
