5.0 out of 5 stars Dictionary of hipster slang 30's to the 60's., 12 Sep 2001

This review is from: Straight from the Fridge Dad (Hardcover)
Unhook your ears, Jack. This aint no sucker bait. This hot little book is real gone, totally sent. I mean this book fractured me, I was paralysed man! If any of you long-gone daddies out there wanna impress the hot little mouse in your life then this is the bible for you. I used to be just a palooka in a bluesey groove. But since I've read this book I'm a jitterbuggin' hepcat with a whoopee mama on each arm! So get off the fence, Hortense. Buy this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars File under cool, 24 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Straight from the Fridge, Dad: A Dictionary of Hipster Slang (Paperback)
So cool it's cold, as the title would suggest. I got this book as a stocking filler and couldn't put it down, although most of the hipster slang is gangster speak and of varying degrees of vulgarity, it is side splittingly funny.
Trying to picture people actually holding a conversation talking like this is probably the best thing about it.
I've given it three stars because it's not really a book that you'd read again and again, but well worth a look.
Buy this book or six of your friends will be carrying you by the handles, Jack.
Plant you now
