I was working in Belgium and spotted an anti-drunk driving campaign poster. It was in French. I went by the mini-mart at SHAPE and purchased a French-English dictionary. I tossed the dictionary in my backpack for later reading after work. When I looked up the French word, the English translation was "bloke". Not helpful GB English, not US English.

LOL. My sister was doing her Masters at Liverpool and lived in the UK for a few years. I was working in the Mideast then and would take a lot of my R&R trips there. We’d usually meet up in London for a few days and then go somewhere else for a few more days such as Yorkshire, Cornwall, Ireland, Chester (where she was living…)

I picked up the lingo in those days. :)
