The UK to USA Dictionary - British English vs. American English

By: Claudine Dervaes and John Hunter

Bob's Your Uncle (all is well) with this new revised dictionary of British English vs. American English. Not only does it contain an A to Zed of all the terms and expressions that separate our common language; it also has lists of rhyming slang, pronunciation and spelling differences. The back of the book contains a section on cultural differences, food and drink, conversion charts, British holidays and more. The new edition includes a page on “UK Police Ranks and Abbreviations” so you won’t be baffled by acronyms such as DCI and ACC. This book is great for those who travel to the UK, read books by British authors, or watch British TV and films. It comes in handy if you travel to British influenced destinations such as Jamaica, Cayman Is., and India. You may already know the “bonnet” is the hood, “boot” is trunk, “petrol” is gas, but did you know a sleeping policeman is a speed bump or candy floss is cotton candy? And it would be good to know what “toad in the hole,” “bangers and mash,” and “bubble and squeak” mean before ordering them! If you're an Anglophile or an expatriate on either side of the pond this book is great for your business associates, families and friends. British American Business Councils and other organizations use them for their members. They have been purchased for wedding favors when a Brit is marrying an American or vice versa. What fun! Just like a foreign language dictionary, the first part lists UK terms and expressions and their American counterparts and the second part has US terms and British equivalents. Lists of rhyming slang are included to acquaint you with the Cockney rhyming slang - such as whistle and flute means suit. So “take a shufti” through The UK to USA Dictionary British English vs. American English and see if you can “suss out” the meanings. A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse. If you don't know what that means you'll just have to buy a copy to find out!
