Book excerpt: Expressions that are identified as slang are often some type of entertaining wordplay. Colloquial expressions are usually considered as being direct or quaint. Slang and colloquial expressions come in different forms: single words, simple phrases, complete sentences, and are used in different functions: noun, verb, adjective, adverb. They make up a large part of American communication in the media and in informal conversation. The entries in this dictionary come from many sources: films and television have provided much of the jargon of crime and law enforcement; college campuses offer expressions that have stood the test of trendiness and are now part of standard American English ... Alternative and telated definitions and usages, as well as the word or phrase function are provided in the A-to-Z section ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 1,500 new words and phrases, this abridged edition of the Dictionary of American Slang is the most buzzworthy, banging collection of colloquial American English—no joke This fully updated and abridged fourth edition of American Slang contains more than 1,500 new terms representing the variety and vigor of American slang, from "yada yada yada" to "yo momma." There's no better resource for those who are curious about language, fascinated by counterculture, or just completely confused when other people talk. Like previous editions, this edition features pronunciation guides, word origins, examples of appropriate usage as well as a helpful highlighting system that lets you know which terms should be used with caution, and never in polite company. Both an important archive of the way America is really talking and a lot of fun to read, American Slang will prove to be an invaluable companion in keeping up with the dauntingly jargon-filled, quickly evolving language of today.
