The one usage I'm fairly sure US English doesn't have is standalone "Quite."
I had UK uses explained to me by an Irish friend (with a longtime London-resident parent and a longtime Glasgow-resident older sib), so I suspect my grasp is even more slippery than I can see. While I was visiting the friend, my ear began wondering whether Galway-regional "quite" and the presented-as-standard UK "quite" usages were ...quite as congruent as the friend had suggested.
If you do uncover further remarks, they'd definitely be of interest--though I wish you good sleep, by preference!
