Synopsis
This dictionary presents an up-to-date record of modern slang. Drawing on the resources of the OED and illustrated throughout with thousands of quotations, this new dictionary covers over 5,000 slang words and phrases that have taken refuge in the English language this century. Including new coinings as well as those that have stood the test of time, the book is packed with slang not only from Britain (wally, prang, and gobsmacked), but also from the rest of the English-speaking world, including America (dork, gazabo, and cockamamie ) and Australia (sheila, giggle-house, and Jimmy woodser ). This book should appeal to word-lovers, language professionals and general readers.
