This review is from: Buzzwords: The Jargon of the 1990s (Paperback)
If you love to read dictionaries--and I know there are those out there who do, whether you admit it or not--this is a book for you. Davis has collected jargon and slang words used by professionals from advertising to waiters. If you're a writer, you might find this to be an interesting creativity jump-starter, either to add color to your characters or to develop one from scratch. Some words have the added bonus of being used in a sentence to further clarify meaning and usage.
