Don't know when you wrote your Driving in UK piece but (a) there are now many 20mph limits on towns, (b)Parking - "No Lines, Read the Signs" - there are way more limits than you think and BIG fines, (c) driving on left derives from the days of horses (you know, John Wayne etc.. You got off the horse on the left, straight on to the footpath and without having to turn the horse round. Often you got back on using a mounting block (stone steps - still about in some places) on the left hand side. All over the world people still get on horses and m/cycles from the left and thus stand on the traffic side to do it in RHD countries! Regards, ND

I'm an English teacher, and as far as I know, there is only one to pronounce the word "culture". Am I right? Thank you very much for your help. By the way, I love your web site and I always recommend it to my students.

Here's one for you that didn't seem to be in your dictionary. I believe it's a "Britishism." At least, I heard it on a talking book by a British author. It was used in this context: he didn't try to "wind her up." I took it to mean tease or confuse or upset her.

"so what's the reasoning behind Japan then?"
Sorry, haven't been back to this site for a couple of months. The reason Japan drive on the left is apparently the same reason the British do, although in Japan it was down to the Samurai being able to use their sword arm.

Maybe you could include a section on common slang? Eg.
*Have a butchers at this! - Have a look at this!
*Are you telling porkies? - Are you telling lies? (pork pies - lies)
*Funky - smelly
*Minger - ugly person
*Minging - anything not nice, eg. a minging biscuit, a minging pattern on the wallpaper, a minging smell. This one is VERRRRRY common.
*Chav - SUPPOSED to stand for Council Housed And Violent, but nobody really knows that, and it isn't written C.H.A.V. Generally teenagers who wear tracksuits and trainers and tuck their trackies into their socks and do drugs, boys have skinheads, girls have hair scraped so tightly back their eyebrows are in the middle of their forehead, swear a lot, hang round on street corners, make a nuicance of themselves, intimidate anyone who is non-chav.
*Have a gander - have a look
*"Oh, you big girls blouse!" - "Oh, you wimp / softie"
*"Bob's your uncle!" - Don't know if this is used in America or not? It means like... and you're done! Sort of. Eg. "Just stick the felt onto the card, add the glitter and Bob's your uncle, you have a homemade birthday card."
*Crimbo - Christmas? Don't know if this is specifically British either, but it's worth a try, right?
*Mint - cool, great, good ("A Nintendo DSi?! Awh, cheers, mate, that's mint!")
*Minted - well off / wealthy
*Bugger - its a swearword in my house, but isn't really used to cause much offence. Eg. "Cheeky little bugger!" or "you're a crafty bugger, you!"
*Jammy - eg. "Jammy devil" meaning fluker... so if I was playing pool with my cousin, who I always lose to, and I got three balls in the pocket in one shot, he might say "aww, you jammy devil!!"
*"Not on your Nelly!" - "No chance!"
I hope you add a couple of these. Especially minger, seeing as you can't NOT hear that here in England.

For the American / British dictionary could you add in what douche-bag means? You mentioned it somewhere in the British / American one, and I realised that I've heard that term a LOT on American TV shows. I only found out what it meant by watching Katie & Peter Stateside, because Katie didn't know what one was either. Also... eewwwwh! But I think a lot of people would find it interesting, if not weird.
Also, apparently Americans don't understand "sorry?" as an alternative for "pardon?" .... I'm not sure it's true, but I've heard that it is.
And last but not least, I've noticed on American films and TV programmes that, say if rejecting an offer of food, they say "I'm good!" for some reason, where in Britain we'd say "No thank you."

Answer for Emmy - if you have been resident for less than a year in the UK you can drive on your US licence, after that you must hold a full UK licence.
Note it is Licence NOT License!
Reply written by Webmaster at 9/24/2009, 10:02 pm, GMT +1
Correct as far i remember. I was able to use my licenSe for a year, before i had to take a test (passed first time) to get my UK licenCe.
Husband has bought a car here in England. Can I drive it and insure it if I still hold a US drivers license? He does not drive. Thanks ET

Also this one just came up, a flea market is like a car boot sale.
What about a garage sale? Is there a Brit equivalent to that?
Reply written by Craig McCormick at 9/24/2009, 10:07 pm, GMT +1
A 'car boot' sale, yes. The Brits don't do garage or yard sales per se. Mainly out of the trunk of a car on a soggy Sunday morning in a car park.

Lord Chancellor: I'd suggest removing this as the post no longer exists. Before abolition it was unlike Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, in that the LC was a member of all three branches of government. The Government (executive in US terms) as head of the department responsible for appointing judges, the legislature (effectively speaker of the House of Lords), as well as a judge.
An earlier poster mentioned "legend" in Spooks/MI5. Not sure about the meaning in Spooks as I haven't watched it, but Le Carre' uses it in "Smiley's People" - "The Sandman is making a legend for a girl" where it means a complete false identity and personal history, not just an alias.

I found you on Google. I was looking to verify the day that one of my friend's sons was born and we both had different recollections. We were both wrong as your calculator proved!!! However I'm writing to say that your poem about which child was born on which day is not correct. The final line is " the child who was born on the Sabbath day [not Sunday as in your version] is "... ... ..... and gay". I know "gay" means something different nowadays - but can I just point out that "happy" does not even rhyme with "Sunday"? Where did you get your version from???

Hi I've just had butchers (that's a look) at this, noticed you didn't have 'climbing frame' thought you Americans (yanks in British) used 'jungle gyms.'
I may also be worth noting that I've never heard anyone call a 'dustbin man' a 'dust man.'
I have more if anyones interested. 'Bloody', hard to explane this one used like bloody hell (oh no) that bloody hurt (thatr hurt alot). 'twat', to hit with a held object or hand. or an idiot. or a british fanny (less common) Hide and seek, Hide and go seek hiding, to beat up eg if you twat me 'round the head again, i'll give you a bloody good hiding. tramp, a hobo Mullers, hurts (fairly common this one)
I'll stop now.

The Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal Navy & Royal Marines were all commanded by the King/Queen way back when, but each Lord, Duke or Earl would have their own private army under their command, when the country as a whole needed defending they banded into one 'army' and hence the no 'Royal' tag.

you're probably right.... I've noticed in the 18 years i've lived here now the Brits are slowly taking bits of 'our' language and using it as their own.. Just down to the great Hollywood and TV influences for the most part I'd say... I read a letter to the editor in a national paper the other day asking "why the school 'end of term dance' or ball is now being labelled a 'prom' in some places." "we're not American" he blirted!

"First, as you know, they (the Brits) drive on the 'wrong' side of the road. They don't think it's wrong, but the UK, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus are the only countries in Europe that do so... (Notice that trend? Only island nations...)"
As someone has already mentioned, it's less to do with "Island nations" and more to do with the fact that it evolved from the horse and carriage days when most men fought with their right hand (sword arm), to protect themselves (and their passengers from highwaymen and blaggards that roamed the roads. As Ireland, Malta and Cyprus had very strong British links it transferred over to these countries and other counties around the world.

You say: "Americans only formally refer to their country as 'America,' and usually (commonly) refer to it as 'the States."
Maybe this is a regional thing, but I disagree. I usually refer to it as "America" or "the US." I rarely hear anyone say "the States" unless I'm in Europe where everyone says it (and then I start to use it there, as sometimes Canadians and Mexicans get angry because they think they are American).

Excellent compendium, and one I, as an ex-pat brit living in NYC who stopped using his British-isms to be better understood, enjoyed very much. I venture only one correction: that "estates" when referring to "projects" is usually qualified by "council". I.e. in a recent MTV UK interview, UK RnB (soul as they say in UK) singer Craig David, said "I was brought up (not raised!) in a council estate, the British ghetto..."

This is AWESOME! I fell in love with the "Coupling" series when it aired on BBC America, and hence, also fell in love with Gina Bellman. Now that she's appearing in TNT's "Leverage", they're letting her keep her British accent (and all the slang) and I was desperate to find a couple words I couldn't easily distinguish (mainly dealing with clothes).
This is a GREAT site. I hope more words will be added as time goes on.

Hi, I was wondering if there's a way to make a suggestions for a word to be added to the dictionary. I'm watching the show Spooks, aka MI-5, and I'm constantly learning British terminology, like "minder" means "bodyguard" and it appears that "legend" means "alias", although I'm not positive of that one. It'd be great if there were a suggestion box of sorts.

In the US it's Clorox or Purex; in Canada it's Javex: what is it in the UK? What goes in the machine along with the Persil? I lived in the UK for ten years but I guess I just wasn't that clean. Did know where me hoover was at all times, though: right next to the tumble dryer!

Your day/date-finder has saved my sanity on a few occasions now, so just wanted to say 'thanks'
Great site (I really like the layout) - I am the proprietor of a similar Brit->American dictionary with slightly more wordy definitions (and, to be honest, fewer of them). Anyway, enjoyed the site! Spent strangely too long reading your bio.

This TravelFurther site is definitely has a great 'Day calculator'. Actually this provided the day for historical events also. Congratulations for sharing this calculator. Invalid years of the history and future can also be included. Why 7 days are there in a week? Why can it not be nine? Thanks for anticipated response. Kind regards Asesh Datta India

Congratulations! Your dictionaries are great for us, people who teach British English to students who are travelling to the States. It is an important aid for them. Laura

Another tricky name to pronounce for you - Welwyn Garden City. The Garden City bit is fine, but Welwyn is pronounced Well-in!

We drive on the left for logical reasons. We go clockwise. You lot go anti-clockwise. Most people are right handed so in olden days, as you travelled, you may have needed to defend yourself against people so you travelled on the left so you could use your right hand to defend yourself against oncomers. Now where's the logic in driving on the right?
