Little Britain 

A TV show which is basically the league of gentlemen spread out over the rest of Britian. Zany and dark in part, but hilarious in every way, like the League- most characters are played by the smae two actors. A must see.
Little Britian is almost as good as the League.

for Britain!

Used sarcastically/mokingly: When someone does something so well or often that they could represent Britain in the Olympics (or other national event) if the activity that they are good at were an Olympic sport or similar.
"Kate shops for Britain!", "I know she spent a whole day trying on shoes!"

"Chris sleeps for Britain!", "I know he didn't get up til 3 in the afternoon."

The Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled 

Richard: Oi bruv The Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled is trying to ban the BBC.

James: right well bruv The Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled is trash.

Jeremy: *rolling Reliant Robin*.

United kingdom of Great Britain and Northern ireland 

4th richest economy of the world. Fist steps to form were re-union of England and Wales (1282). Union of afore-mentioned and Scotland (1705). This made it the United Kingdom. When it conquered Ireland/Eire, it became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. After this hold over Ireland was minimised to six counties, it assumed the current name.
Third longest country name in the world, eh?

Great Britain 

An often misused term. Great Britain in the geographical sense refers to the largest of the 800+ islands that make up the British Isles.

In the political sense it refers to the union between Engalnd Scotland and Wales, and the central government of the same. (Add Northern Ireland into the equation and you get The United Kingdom)
Most people in Britain refer to themselves as English, Scottish or Welsh, Not British.

Broken Britain

A phrase coined by people (and usually associated with the BNP) who are fed up of Britain becoming more and more politically correct, or identifying failing aspects of society caused by the government, such as education or the legal system.
"Did you know you can't sing baa baa black sheep anymore, it's baa baa rainbow sheep, that's broken Britain for ya!"

"Have you seen how much the university tuition fees have gone up this year? Broken Britain!"
