Just started playing with this "British American Dictionary" -- a service of the BBC.
I recommend selecting "insulting words" and "England" from the pull-down menu.
I'm not really sure its purpose, but it sure would be handy for traveling American jerkwads who want to understand what a waiter in a London cafe is saying about them.

Awesome!
I'll bet it's mostly to inform Americans of the superiority of British insulting skills. I mean, Shakespeare started the tradition, and whenever I watch BBC shows I am completely blown away by their gorgeous similes and metaphors of insult!
But that's just me.
Yeah, I'll confess I'm a little jealous of their cutting wit.
Damn those -- those -- I don't know what to call 'em.
