Perfect for writers,

This review is from: The Thesaurus of Slang (Paperback)
The best dictionary of slang out there because it is arranged by the word you're most likely to know instead of the slang word you're not likely to know.

This review is from: Thesaurus of Slang (Wordsworth Collection) (Paperback)
All the other slang dictionaries, even those online are organized to define the slang terms themselves. As an older writer I'm not particularly knowledgeable about slang much past my own generation. It is a great help in creating more realistic youthful dialog to be able to look up a "regular" word to find the various slang synonyms.Even for a 1995 edition, mine appears to be very current and comprehensive. I hope the editors keep this handy writer's tool up to date with new editions. Somebody really needs to develop an online slang database, searcheable by words on either side of the index. This is really the only way to compile something as changeable as a dictionary of slang. I'd pay to subscribe to one kept up to date.

Out of words on your great american novel? A good book to have to refresh your memory. OR teach you some new ones.
