From the Publisher
Tom Dalzell artfully explores the vocabulary of vice
Take a walk on the wild side of language through the rich and varied slang surrounding sin and vice. This is a realm of irony, imagery, and endless imagination brought to light by slangmeister Tom Dalzell. His personal commentary and thorough research deliver new insights into how we talk about the subjects we aren't supposed to talk about, such as sex, drugs, drinking, and gambling. The slang of sinners - from gamblers to drinkers, dice throwers to porn kings, and everyone in between - offers a glimpse of our culture that will enlighten and amuse you for hours of enjoyable reading.
