UK Anglicsh                     Urban American English
bloddy                               dayum
bobbies                             dem tittays
Bob's yur uncle                  Tom luvs dem tittays
'ere wot                             nigga, puh-lease

...

This list is by no means exhaustive, although I think I managed to alphabetize it (by UK Anglisck, anyhoo) correctly.

I invite, enjoin, and entreat all Ass-Grabbers of a lexical bent to contribute to this much needed linguistic dictionary.

(K_Dubb, Attend!)

My hope is to someday be able to nonsensically translate things like the following:

Quote from: Semi-toothless Limey Fook
'Ere wot?  Me mates Bob's yur-uncle to the loo for a bit of the ol' in-out lavortory.  Chips, guvner!

Into semi-meaningful American Urban English which I have a somewhat better grasp of.

I realize this is a big ask; but I believe we, Ass-Grabbers, can and WILL rise to the challenge!

ediot:  I think my first Kamp-Pain promise for 2028 will be something along the lines of "Fixed Width Fonts for all Intar-Tube Postings" or somesuch, being OldSkool, I think "Consolas" would look nice (although, it still doesn't have that Commodore 64 'pop' that would really zing... alas)
