Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4 MB
Overview: This new edition of McGraw-Hill’s Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions offers complete definitions of more than 12,000 slang and informal expressions from various sources, ranging from golden oldies such as . . . golden oldie, to recent coinages like shizzle (gangsta), jonx (Wall Street), and ping (the Internet). Each entry is followed by examples illustrating how an expression is used in everyday conversation and, where necessary, International Phonetic Alphabet pronunciations are given, as well as cautionary notes for crude, inflammatory, or taboo expressions.
This edition also features a fascinating introduction on “What is Slang?,” a Thematic Index that cross-references expressions by standard terms–such as Angry, Drunk, Food, Good-bye, Mess-up, Money, and Stupidity–and a Hidden Word Index that lets you identify and locate even partially remembered expressions and phrases.
