10th anniversary edition. New entries and citizenship test.
Tangent's biggest selling local book. Perfect gift book for young
and old. Harry Stoke and Vinny Green launched the Dictionary of
Bristle in 2003 to celebrate the remarkable success of their
thatbebristle website a hilarious spoof news page with a passing
similarity to the Bristol Evening Post's thisisbristol website. At
its peak, the website enjoyed astonishing success and the
Dictionary was originally published to help readers understand the
nuances of the Bristolian words and phrases. The website is long
gone, but the Dictionary goes from strength to strength and sells
particularly strongly at Christmas through supermarkets as well as
the traditional booktrade and in gift shops. Tangent Books acquired
the Dictionary from Broadcast books in 2009 and released a third
edition. The updated fourth edition celebrates the 10th anniversary
of the original Dictionary. The book is now accepted worldwide as
the authoritative guide to speaking Bristolian and has been
responsible for a whole new generation of Bristolians reclaiming
their distinctive dialect. Within two years of the publication of
the Dictionary of Bristle the Bristolian word 'lush' was added to
the Oxford English Dictionary.
