British Sayings – British Slang – British Words
  • Zed: Zed - the letter Zee to the Americans. It's the last letter in the alphabet but probably the most popular. And even in the ABC children's' ditty we Brits rhyme Zed with Cee at the end. Works for me!
  • You're the Bees Knees!: You're the Bees Knees - You're Fantastic. You're Fabulous. You're the Bee's Knees. Let the Special People in Your Life Know Exactly What You Think, With This Say It Out Loud UK Slogan. This Design on T-Shirts, apparel t-shirts, Mugs and Stickers.
  • Spiffing: Spiffing - This is old British slang for splendid or wonderful. It's not used much nowadays but one of readers suggested it for this online dictionary. And who are we not to oblige?
  • Dodgy: Dodgy - Not To Be Trusted. Used Car or Second Hand Car Sales Men, to us Brits are "Dodgy". Kebabs from your Local Chippy (Fish and Chips Shop) on a Friday Night after a Good Booze Up can be Dodgy as well as Curry from your Indian.
  • Keep Your Hair On!: Keep Your Hair On! - Calm Down! Such a Visual British Slang Term. You can Imagine Someone Actually Losing their Hair in a Fit of Rage. Nice!
