All below are from <a href='http://english2american.com/index.html#index' target='_blank'>this great site</a>. These are a few of the better ones. But there are lots or great words there, so take a look.
<b>shark</b> v. Although the word is shark, the usage is more often sharking. A person who is Sharking is a person actively seeking the intimate company of a member of the opposite sex - probably any member of the opposite sex. The easiest way to spot someone who is sharking is to watch their friends, who will every so often hold one hand just above their head like a fin just to make the point. The difference between sharking and being on the pull is that sharking is slightly more proactive. If you're on the pull you won't say no; if you're sharking you won't take no for an answer
<b>swizz</b> n. This is a small-scale swindle or con. If you opened your eight-pack of KitKats and there were only seven, you might mutter "that's a bloody swizz". If you discovered that your cleaning lady had been making out large cheques to herself over a ten year period, you'd be inclined to use stronger wording.
<b>nonce</b> n. A nonce is a child-molestor, as featured in the fine "Brasseye" spoof TV programme where popular celebrities were duped into wearing T-shirts advocating "nonce-sense". I am told that the term originates from when sex offenders were admitted as "non-specified offenders" (thereby "non-specified" and thence "nonce") in the hope that they might not get the harsh treatment metered out to such convicts.
<b>numpty</b> n. Scottish. Calling someone a numpty is a friendly way of calling them an idiot
<b>minging</b> adj. Someone (usually a young lady, I'm afraid) who's described as "minging" or "a minger" is quite breathtakingly unattractive. On fire and put out with a shovel, that sort of thing.
<b>knackered</b> adj. To describe yourself as "knackered" means that you are really tired - something along the lines of "beat". However, as usual it has a slightly more dodgy meaning as it technically describes being exhausted after sex. You can get away with it in everyday conversation but bear in mind that everyone knows the true meaning too. The derivation, I understand, is from the time when old, worn out horses were taken to the "knacker's yard" and... well... converted into glue
<b>git</b> n. Tricky one to define. What it doesn't mean is what The Waltons meant when they said it (as in "git outta here, John-Boy"). Git is technically an insult but has a twinge of jealousy to it. You'd call someone a git if they'd won the Readers' Digest Prize Draw, outsmarted you in a battle of wits or been named in Bill Gates' Last Will and Testament because of a spelling mistake. Like sod, it has a friendly tone to it. I'm told it derives from Arabic, where it describes a pregnant camel, of all things. I'm also told that it is a contraction of the word "illegitimate" - you be the judge.
<b>sod</b> n. v. adj. And just about any other use. Sod is a glorious word. Attached to any word or phrase it has the immediate effect of making it derogatory. Prime examples include "Sod off" (get lost), "sod you" (nearest US equivalent is probably "bite me"), "sod it" (damn/forget it), "old sod" (old git), etc, etc. Use at will - it has a friendly tone to it and is unlikely to get you into trouble. Were you to look in a proper dictionary, you'd discover that sod is also a lump of turf - I'm told that there is a road in Halifax (Yorkshire, not Nova Scotia) called Sod House Green.

Aces! Cheers, I'll probably get that off amazon or something soon.
Also after extensive and exhausting research (Read, typing name in google) I found the BBC's <a href='http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/lookaroundyou/' target='_blank'>Look around you site.</a>. Yay. It's got a couple of Video Clips and interactive gubbins etc. So check it out. Great stuff. I'll be getting that DVD too.
