Hmmm, that's a fair question.  I'm tempted to say "the British part", but 
even then quite literally, the only place the Oxford University colleges 
are at is actually in Oxford.

So perhaps instead I should have said "It's an English word and usage, 
defined by what is arguably referred to as the definitive English 
dictionary these days".  ;-)
