For that to be true it would only require roughly 1/5 of US citizens to have seen some British television ever. That's not a huge ask.
However, it doesn't tell us anything about how much British slang terms have permeated the USA. That would require knowledge of what fraction of Americans have watched what type of British content and how regularly.
Not sure how often Downton Abby, Dr Who or David Attenborough use the word 'wanker'. But for all I know, Gordan Ramsey might be a big hit West of the pond.
