British to English Dictionary?

Question

I find it funny how the U.S. and U.K. both speak "The Kings English", but the Britts have phrases that are not normally used "across the pond".
For example a diaper is a nappy, and shag is a type of carpet in a U.S. and a euphanisam for having sex in the U.K.
Is there anyplace online that has a collection of these phrases?

Gee, that really helps markos m.

Answer 2

Well, the U.S. and the U.K. do not both speak the Kings English. The U.K. speaks British English and the U.S. speaks American English. Neither is better or worse than the other, but there are actually significant differences.

There are lots of online American-English-American dictionaries. Just type it into a search engine and you will find dozens. I particularly like www.bg-map.com/us-uk.
