"Not gonna fly" in the Present Tense?
Can this idiom - it's not going to fly - ever be used in the Present Tense? For example in a silly rhyme like this: *He bakes a pie,* *Pie in the sky.* *It doesn't fly.* *He starts to cry.* Is it correct to use it here in the sense that an inexperienced but overconfident someone bakes an awful pie that doesn't win a prize in a baking competition? Is it gonna fly?

Do British people use phrasal verbs more often than Americans?
I've noticed that when I read novels by British authors, I come across more phrasal verbs than in American ones.
