Connie Eble, professor of English at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is author of College Slang 101.
EBle explores the words and phrases that American college students use casually among themselves. Based on more than 10,000 examples submitted by Eble's students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill over the last twenty years, the book shows that slang is dynamic vocabulary that cannot be dismissed as deviant or marginal.
