It makes you sound very pretentious. I didn't give the two craps I just laid down in my master bathroom toilet because I thought highly of your opinion.

The term is used in British and Australian English; the comparable term in American English is playing field. Just like no one uses the word 'flat' for 'apartment','lift' for 'elevator', 'queue' for 'line', 'chips' for 'fries', 'hot ashes' for 'trees', 'hot air' for a 'cool breeze', etc. In America no one uses the term pitch to mean a field.
