The first edition of Paul Dickson's Slang was selected by William Safire of the NY Times as one of the best language books of the year. Completely updated -- with more than twice as many entries as before -- this latest volume truly encompasses the whole colorful range of current American slang. Divided into 29 broad categories, these are the words that make American English as expressive as it is fascinating. From advertising offices to prisons, from high schools to the halls of Congress, this invaluable resource reveals the way Americans speak & think today. Each section is prefaced by illuminating discussions of that particular culture's language.
