it depends whether you mean words that all British people use, or word that come from certain dialects/regions. Not sure what you mean by an English/British dictionary. The examples you've given are colloquial, and there are already dictionaries of slang and colloquial English.

In Essex and parts of East London they say something that sounds like 'EhRihe' which seems to mean hello how are you nice day goodbye. Its part of Estuary English.
They also say "Seeah Laiher" which I think means goodbye.

There is a online dictionary at http://english2american.com it lists lots of everyday sayings, although not all up to date e.g. I don't know anyone who says blimey or bleeding anymore!
