5.0 out of 5 stars Every piece of slang you could ever hear., 22 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Dictionary of Contemporary Slang (Dictionary) (Paperback)
This book is absolutely the best about "slang" that I have ever seen. Every "slang" word that I can think of is in here.

If you need books for an interesting read or to help with teaching English then this is one of those you must have.
