You have to admit, british slang is brilliant, and I just found a LOONNGGG list of almost all of it. It's funny, I recommend a glance through.

How cold they not be? I don't think I've gone a day in the last year without saying or at least thinking the word wank(er) :P

There were a handful of words that I hear from british tv shows and british people online, I didn't see on that page so I guess there are so many british slang words they can't reference them all. lol.

Its a hole site dedicated to it, if you look around there are sections, like one for anything to do with cars and driving, for instance.
If ya look round you'll likely find them.

To be fair, I use a ridiculous amount of those slang terms in day to day like, but never (mostly) in the internet, so to avoid confusion

Just told this story to someone else but this looks like a perfect fit!

Last winter when a friends mom and dad were taking a bunch of us skiing we were all yakkin away and her dad was trying to ask us questions and so the place we were going is called Nub's Knob and he was asking if any of us had gone there before or not and so I just blurted out "Do you know that in England that knob means penis?" Her mom turned around and gave me this kinda freaked out look but her dad just sat there laughing! Probably shoulda filtered that one!!
