What is British Slang?

It's slang, rude words and euphemisms from all over Britain. That includes England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the floaty, rocky bits nearby.

Our dictionary aims to be authentic - not made-up (like Roger's Profanisaurus - which we love by the way). This is real slang used by real Brits.
