British language & culture

We're chuffed to bits to present this tour of Ole Blighty's lingo dingo. It's in the dog's ballsack! Try it out on the lads down your local, have a few drinks, don't worry about sounding cheap and nasty-- if it all goes pear-shaped, wait for the sound of 'Oh, bless!' as they grab your arm and buy you another bevvie. Features special section on Welsh, Scottish, Cornish and Scots (Lallans). Lonely Planet's Language & Culture series goes behind the scenes of languages you thought you knew. Get into the culture and humour behind common--and not so common--English expressions and learn about the local languages etiquette that inspired them.
