The Septic's Companion | British Slang Dictionary

A British slang dictionary with audio pronunciations

Home

The Septic's Companion is an A-to-Zed dictionary of British Slang words and phrases, written by a Scotsman living in America. You may know it better by the title it had for the previous ten years, "The English-to-American Dictionary". The online dictionary is all free; the book contains all that and more riveting British stuff.

Brand new on this site is the forum - I am hoping to turn this into a sort of hub for people wanting to discuss anything British with a language bent. Because it's new, you still have time to get all the great usernames (although I have to tell you that "chris" is gone). The 100th member gets a free book!

People regularly ask me what the best way to read this dictionary offline is - at the moment, the best way is to buy the Amazon Kindle edition and use it on a Kindle - with that, you can take it abroad and read it without an internet connection.
