Usefully funny!
30. Oktober 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Fans of Bernstein's Guardian column in the UK will be well-acquainted with his trenchant wit - on brilliant display here, too, as he tackles a potentially unwieldy subject. Where most dictionaries of this type are poorly written and dry as dust, "Knickers" handles both the well-known (e.g. the title) and the obscure (too many examples to list) linguistic peculiarities of the Queen's English with style. A must for Anglophiles and a rare treat for the casual reader and/or traveler.

Not for just the ol' blue rinsers ...
24. April 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
A very well compiled and concise collection of British slang and colloquial expressions that seemingly date back two hundred years. However a good fifty percent are more common to the last forty years and probably another thirty percent are the last fifteen to a close ten. While this tome might be devoid of the more obscure statements like: "Jimmy Hill", no one's going to notice or fault the compilers for it.
This is a good writers reference for anyone on the island or across the pond. Anyone interested in seeking other quality slang reference books can look here:
1. The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary
2. The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms
3. Urban Dictionary: Street Slang Defined
4. Depraved and Insulting English
5. The Highly Selective Dictionary For The Extraordinarily Literate
6. The Oxford Dictionary of Allusions
7. How Not To Say What You Mean: A Dictionary of Euphemisms
Got that, Gaffer? Cheers, me old son!

For those who are not familar with British slang
10. Juli 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
I am completely, and utterly in love with England, every single aspect of it is lovely. I was surprised that a book on British Slang was out, I went out and bought it the very next day. As soon as I got home I stuffed it into my bag for school the next day. During one class when I had finished my work earlier I decided to open this book up, what a horrible decision! This book was absolutely hilarious! Which was bad since the rest of the class was finishing a test, and I had to leave the room to get rid of my laughter.
Now I use these terms all over the school that leaves other students stare at me with bewilderment. It's great to know terms that others are not familiar with.
