I'm not an english language native, and the terms I said are global, not local idiom.

Again, global.

What objection? That one came from wikipedia so it's well known enough. 
Please note that I'm not blaming you *at all* for not knowing them, as much widespreaded as they are, after all no one is obliged to now everything about the english language, I sure don't. 
But at least you could just recognize you didn't know those expressions instead of keep dismissing them as local slang or even non-existant, which they definetly are not. Why do you think the movie "Lost in Translation", with Bill Murray in Japan has that name?

Here's a suggestion: try to google it. It doesn't have to be with Google since you don't like them, use DuckDuckGo for instance, and see how widespread that word is.

Of course it must, but you kept questioning everything I said in an irrelevant ping-pong with no purpose in view. But I get it, you didn't understood what I said. No harm done.
I'm about to take Michael's advice, yes, I see you understood that expression he used

It worked on Firefox; I just tried it in Chrome, Opera (the new one) and Vivaldi, and it worked on them also.
I can't pronounce much about the 'location.href' since, remember, I don't know anything of javascript, that's why I came here in the 1st place :)
