Can someone recommend a good compendium of British jargon/slang? Not just profanity but every day expressions. It would be useful for work. WE're moderating a lot of British chain stores now.

I rely on this one a lot writing fanfic--it says it's a slang dictionary but also has a lot of very useful everyday words.

Shoot. I've just discovered that mine has vanished into the Intrawebz. I found it a great resource in writing HP fic.

I recommend having a british person handy. Mine is Ian (with a Dana on retainer) because I love hearing him say "garage" (rhymes with "carriage)

*giggles* Something in particular you're wondering about or is this preventative measures?

Mostly I'd like to have some resource documentation that would be easy to share. We're handling more British clients now, and it would be helpful to prepare people for slang differences.
