More About British Slang
Here's a website that's a good browse: A Dictionary of Slang.
It features slang and colloquialisms from the U.K. (some explicitly sexual, so consider yourself warned).
Many of the words I'm familiar with already because we use them in Canada. But there are many more that I've never heard of.
I learned about the words "gatted," "nang," and "thrutch" all in one quick browse, and there's a lot of pages I didn't have the chance to get to.
I'll be going back, though!

Where do you find all this interesting stuff?!?
I'm glad you like it! I browse through a lot of blogs and websites (instead of doing more useful stuff like gardening or cleaning the house).
Hmm, well, Amy, you have stumped me, I have never heard of these three!
Did you see Douglas on Crossword bebop picking me up on "giving a bollocking" as he'd never heard the expression (used a lot over here)? Is "bollocking" in your british slang dictionary (or dikker as we call it in british slang)?
It sure is! It's defined as "noun. a severe reprimand."
Thanks! I'll tell Douglas if he asks again.
