I bought this for my father to help him understand my three teenage boys.
The boys speak in what seems like a foreign language and this book was the perfect translator.
My 71 year old father now has a much extended vocabulary which is hilarious!
A must buy!!

The popular website turns into the eponymous book. In an age where keepin up with popular cultural terms is becoming increasingly difficult, this book manages to capture as much breath as possible while remaining light-hearted enough to not represent itself as an authority. This careful balance makes it a winner. I would strongly recommend it as a gift for 'the person who has everything' as it makes for intriguing can't-take-your-hands-off-it reading. No coffee table is complete without it. Any journalist is naked without it. And maybe parents would enjoy it just for the sake of understanding what their children are actually saying. One, Money.

Bought this for my husband who decided he wanted to send emails to friends using "street" language. Unfortunately, this didn't really fit the bill and he was disapointed with it.

Nowadays no one speaks english any more, more of a highly complex mixture of widely used "urban" words to form comprehendable sentences. Read more
