But the second the Brits open their mouths, all bets are off. So don’t dream of visiting the UK, dating a Brit, or truly understanding what Jude Law is saying without this handy, hilarious, and informative guide to Britspeak. With the cheekiness of Austin Powers and the tidbit quotient of Schott’s Miscellany , screenwriter Jonathan Bernstein’s collection of Cockney rhyming slang, insults culled from British television shows of yore, and regional and “high British” favorites provides hours of educational, enlightening, even life saving hilarity. And if it doesn’t accomplish that, at least you’ll be aware that when a British citizen describes you as a “wally,” a “herbert,” a “spanner,” or a “bampot,” he’s not showering you with compliments. Knickers in a Twist is as indispensable as a London city guide, as spot-on funny as an episode of The Office , and as edifying as Born to Kvetch and Eats, Shoots and Leaves . Review: So funny I cried with laughter - This is a gift for my husband... he originally grew up in the UK but moved to America at the age of 15. Needless to say he has lost his british accent but never lost his roots.... He is always reeling off british slang to our kids and putting on a cockney accent. This is a christmas present for him (Yes Im starting early!!), and I know he is going to LOVE this!!!! The book contains everything you could think of. I snuck the book out of its hiding place for me and the kids to read and it made us laugh so much. A very clever, different and unique gift. I could not fault it in any possible way. The Shipping and handling was free and arrived less than 48 hours after i ordered it. Fabulous book, and fabulous service!!!!! Review: Some much FUN! - Being an "anglophile" helps but this was great for anyone that has watched a brit-com or film, turned on closed captioning and still went: "Huh?" "Whovians" can benefit as much as travellers...or modern brit lit readers and newsies that try and follow comments about the Royals. Surprizingly many make simple sense...but then there are those slang remarks that only make sense if you know something of the history of the usage. Oh my! (You cannot be a brit fan and NOT know what a "whovian" is, or can you?) Buy it. Quick read and loads of fun and enlightenment. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,067,655 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #328 in Slang & Idiom Reference Books #1,732 in Linguistics Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 516 Reviews | ## Images ![Knickers in a Twist: A Dictionary of British Slang - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uBvc1duPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So funny I cried with laughter *by S***Y on September 16, 2013* This is a gift for my husband... he originally grew up in the UK but moved to America at the age of 15.

Quick read and loads of fun and enlightenment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impress the Folks Over the Pond *by G***T on December 5, 2010* I actually bought this book as a gift for a friend who, like myself, loved their time in Great Britian with the slang being a particular favorite. Of course I couldn't help but go through this book before wrapping and giggled through out. Trust me if you ever go to the UK you can wear that fanny pack but don't say "fanny pack" unless you want some snickers coming your way. It's devided up into catagories with defintions easy to understand. Great for that person who loves language, England, or reference books. Well worth the purchase. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1705640-knickers-in-a-twist-a-dictionary-of-british-slang](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1705640-knickers-in-a-twist-a-dictionary-of-british-slang) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
