5.0 out of 5 stars The best slang dictionary I've found!, 24 Sep 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Spears Richard A. : Slang and Euphemism (Abridged Edn): A Dictionary of Oaths, Curses, Insults, Racial Slurs, Sexual Slang & Metaphor Drug Talk, Homosexual Lingo (Signet) (Paperback)

Mr. Spears does an excellent job researching and listing slang words and euphemisms. His sense of humor comes through in the definitions, but he takes his work seriously. I have purchased 4 copies of the book - one for myself, and 3 for friends who looked through it and had to have one. I keep a copy on my desk to crack open when I need a laugh. If you like language and slang you will love this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars exceedingly useful for an author of gay historical fiction, 20 Dec 2008

By	Erastes (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews

A fantastic book of slang and euphenism, I use it daily. The only niggle I'll have is that it's sometimes a little too USA founded. It not only gives alternative words for terms - most of them dirty - but gives the etymological dates of such terms too. An essential for authors of historical ficton.
