Sleek, stylish and striking, "Slickly Continentals" quite shamlessly take the cream of the crop from around the world. They have the distinct advantage of sounding exotic, but not too outlandish or eccentric. They are, in fact, quite recognisable — either from their historic use or from a shared cultural style — without feeling commonplace.
This list contains much loved gems from around the world that can claim a rich pedigree, an exotic style, easy (or at least familiar) spellings and pronunciations, but are quite underused in Britain.
