Wiki Dictionary is up! (Sorta...)
Right! Ignore the names of the pages... I'm still working them out. But are we all happy with this layout?

As we can't copy off any other website, I'm only going to add content that's been suggested by BE members. Feel free to send me a PM, make a suggestion here or simply add content yerself.

Re: Wiki Dictionary is up! (Sorta...)
Suggestion: How about a page for US - UK so that we can look up American words for their translation. Eg. aks = ask as in Can I aks where you are from?

OP, I'm not sure about the direction of "mobile phone/cell phone". It's called the latter here.

Only on old-fashioned steam engine locomotives.
fender |ˈfendər|
noun
1 a thing used to keep something off or prevent a collision, in particular
• the mudguard or area around the wheel well of a vehicle.
• a plastic cylinder, tire, etc., hung over a ship's side to protect it against impact.
• a metal frame at the front of a locomotive or streetcar for pushing aside obstacles on the line; a cowcatcher.

This is the fender of a car:
A bumper is a bumper.

Not to be harsh, but I don't believe that. Could be a misunderstanding in there somewhere.

Fanny - Ass, Bottom, Bum, Rear End ??
I think you've got the fanny round the wrong way...assuming you've got UK on the left and US on the right, Fanny(UK) = vagina or whatever interesting Americanisms anyone might know of to describe the minge or clapping fish.
Maybe you should also add:
Bum (UK) = Fanny (US)
Tramp, dosser, homeless person = bum (US)
Pan handle (UK) = hard-on (US)
...I think. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Re: Wiki Dictionary is up! (Sorta...)
Seeing as you have 'wanker' in there then you should definitely have 'tosser' as well.
To any Americans reading this then we don't make these words up - Men Behaving Badly 'wanker tosser' clip:
