Hilariously Helpful5
This is an indispensible guide to British slang. Now when I listen to my fave Brit bands, the lyrics make sense. It's a delightful read--some of the words and phrases are hilarious. Teriffic book!

iM eNGLISH AND QUAINT4
I found this in a New York bookstore while on holiday and being English I bought it for a laugh. No wonder Americans think we're quaint this book is a right laugh. I've never heard most of the slang in this book but it made it real funny to read. I used the slang from this book at school the next day and they seemed to think I was speaking French but it's definitly worth it especiaally if your English. It's nice to see our language from another persons point of view.
