QUIRKY WORLD ... Britons in budgie smugglers detailed in updated dictionary

ENGLAND: Britons are pulling on budgie smugglers to go wild swimming, discussing starter marriages at stupid o’clock and sipping craft beer while planning their next elimination diet.

Entries include air-punching — the action of thrusting a clenched fist into the air in elation or triumph — and bovver — part of the catchphrase of comedian Catherine Tate’s teenage character Lauren.
