Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Incorporating idioms, linguistic informalities, and indecipherable curse words from the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the Shorter Slang Dictionary throws linguistic propriety to the wind in its fervent pursuit of off-color terms. Defining everything from ``ash-cash'' to ``pillock'' to the ever-popular ``zit,'' the Shorter Slang Dictionary will be of interest to lexicographers, linguists, and general readers.

About the Author

Rosalind Fergusson is a freelance lexicographer.
