Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Mind the Gap… Between British & American Language & Culture contains chapters on British culture and an expanded A to Z reference list of hundreds of words and expressions that you will hear when visiting the UK, watching British movies and television programs, or reading British literature. In this book, I’ve included a variety of words and phrases that will help Americans who love Britain enjoy it even more. Even if you have never visited the UK, I hope you enjoy British films, TV, and books more than ever after discovering a bit of British culture and humor hidden in odd words and phrases. If you are seeking a more dictionary type of book, you’ll find that too. I’ve included such practical words and phrases covering foods, clothes, travel, and even the size of British paper you will need for your printer. So, you’ll be equipped to purchase aubergines, order a gammon steak or a bap, understand an old reference to a blower, locate an Aga, and what to offer when asked if you have a biro. You won’t want to see an identity parade and you’ll know what a Londoner means by “innit.” And importantly, I hope you will avoid repeating some highly insulting phrases when someone is out of their tree.
