English slang and colloquialisms used in the United Kingdom

A dictionary of English slang and colloquialisms

A monster online dictionary of the rich colourful language we call slang... all from a British perspective, with new slang added every month. If you are unable to immediately find the term you are looking for, try the slang search. A short essay giving an outline of the parameters of this site and brief information on slang can be accessed on the introduction page.

Please take the time to read this introduction before submitting any slang for inclusion in this dictionary. Should you wish to do further research I have presented a selection of good source material... books, which can be found on the bibliography page. Thanks to page27 for originally hosting this site and continuing to support the dictionary in its new home.
