conker n. 1. Horse chestnut. 2. (~s) Game played by children. To play this game, one first drills a small hole through the middle of a conker, and threads a string through this hole. The conker is then suspended by one child, while the other, using his conker, tries to smash the suspended conker with his. Turns alternate. The winner is the child whose conker does not break. This leads to uncommon industry on the part of children (of all ages) in an effort to make their conker as tough as possible.

coming for one phrase. 1. Phrase meaning ``Are you coming to the pub for a pint of?'' 

pint of (pint-ah) n. 1. The basic unit of drink in the U.K., as in, ``A pint of bitter, please.'' One should never ask for half a pint as the bartender will only hear the word pint. If you really must have half a pint, refrain from using pint and say, ``Half ofbitter, please.''

bangers n. 1. Sausages. A very common meal is bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potatoes). The sausages are called bangers because they will burst if you do not pierce them while they are cooking. 

pasty (pah-stee) n. 1. A type of meat and potato pie. Pasties may come from either Cornwall or Devonshire (where they are called tiddy oggies). A Cornish pasty purchased outside Cornwall resembles a sausage roll that's been stood on and does not resemble one bought in Cornwall. There's also a curry pasty which is a delicious Jamaican concoction available from superior chippies. 

sticky wicket phrase. A difficult situation. This phrase originates in the game of cricket.  ``The machine gun nest had us covered. It really was a sticky wicket.''

bloody hell (blud-ee-el) expletive.  This blasphemous expression may be used to voice one's incredulity about something just said. This is equivalent to the American phrase ``Why, Gosh. Who would have thought!''
