Some good ones in the dictionary but some errors as well, the major one being "fanny", it does not mean ass in England, it refers to a certain private part of the female anatomy.

I thought I would try and catch it out, it cannot handle Cockney rhyming slang. If you put in 'Frog and Toad' guess what it translates it too??

fenchman and toad ha! ha!
