They call the hood of a car the bonnet and I think they call the trunk of a car the boot. I'm not real sure but I think they mean screw driver (the tool not the drink) or a crescent wrench when they say spanner.
The best way to learn British terms is to read books written by Brits. Those that haven't been "translated".
Good luck.

bloody doesn't equate to cool; more like damn - said when you are annoyed
