Review
Jonathon Green's Chambers Slang Dictionary, to be published next month, contains more than 4,500 words for drinks, 4,000 for drugs, 2,400 for idiots and 634 for buttocks. It covers five centuries of language from the wrong side of the tracks, but it is the youngest entires that provide some of the the greatest amusement. A Giorgio Armani, for example, in rhyming slang is a sarnie and a squirrel-kisser is an environmentalist.
