Book Description

November 2003
Do you know what a ‘homechicken’ is? Or are you a ‘Johnny No Stars’? Did the class bully give you a ‘nuggy’ or a ‘beano’ in the school yard? If you want to recall the irreverent expressions of your school days, or simply feel frustrated on the sidelines of an exclusive speech community, you may need to improve your slang!

From the widely acceptable to the taboo, here’s a great opportunity to widen your vocabulary. Maybe you’d secretly like to know what a ‘mudmuncher’ is, or a ‘fire pie’? The answers are here, and many, many more.

Adapted from a hugely popular cult website, The Dictionary of Playground Slang is the essential tool to help you recapture the cruel, bizarre - and often highly obscene - world of the playground.

5.0 out of 5 stars The guide you wished you had in school., November 28, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dictionary of Playground Slang (Paperback)
This little book is about 200 pages long and fun from start to finish. There are definitions of thousands of slang words with a neat little collection of violent schoolyard games and their rules at the end. There are lyrics to obscene songs and chants along with poems like the words to Miss Mary Mack.

It's book that would suit kids, teenagers and nostalgia buffs alike. All pretty harmless really and would make a great present for any age group.

It's a *must buy* for the Christmas stocking.
