Bath Slang Dictionary: A Humorous Guide to Bath’s Real Language and Culture (Slang World) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Behind the honey-coloured stone and Georgian elegance lies a sharp-tongued, slang-loving city with its own way of roasting tourists, judging hills, and pretending Bristol doesn’t exist. The Bath Slang Dictionary is your insider guide to the real language of Bath — the phrases locals actually use in pubs, streets, shops, and side-eye conversations.
This A–Z slang dictionary features 500 Bath slang words and expressions, with:

• Clear definitions
• Real-life example sentences
• Plain-English translations anyone can understand

From phrases born in cramped historic streets to expressions forged halfway up a hill someone promised was “only five minutes,” this book captures Bath exactly as it sounds when no one’s being polite.
Perfect for:

• Visitors who want to sound less like tourists
• Locals who want to laugh at themselves
• Language lovers, slang collectors, and UK culture fans
• Unique, funny gifts with real personality

Whether you’re navigating Westgate after midnight, dodging hen parties, or learning why “posh” in Bath doesn’t always mean rich, this book decodes it all — with humour, honesty, and zero spa-music nonsense.
If you love British slang, regional humour, or Bath itself, this dictionary belongs on your shelf.
