A dated British colloquial expression for a modest country house — not a grand estate but a comfortable rural retreat, the kind of unpretentious weekend getaway that a well-off Victorian or Edwardian professional might maintain. The word 'box' conveys smallness and practicality rather than grandeur; a country-box was where you went to shoot game or escape London smog, not to impress anyone. The phrase has a pleasantly self-deprecating quality that suits the British sensibility.
Slang for an ambulance, used in British English. The name is starkly descriptive — associating the vehicle with the emergencies it attends. Sits in the same register as other blunt emergency-service slang, often used by paramedics, hospital staff, or people comfortable with dark humor about medical situations.
(UK, dated, colloquial) A country house.
(obsolete) A hollow tube frame used for a machine.
