the most practical reference for the informal expressions
of contemporary American English


The third edition of this dictionary contains more than 800 new expressions.
These comprise the expressions that have appeared in the last few
years—including many new expressions used in everyday talk on the
streets and the college campus. The “Phrase-Finder Index” has been
completely revised to make finding the location of new phrasal entries
in the dictionary easier. What do we expect of slang in the year 2000
and beyond? Much of the same: sex, scatology, rudeness, and clever
wordplay.
This dictionary is a collection of slang and colloquial expressions
in frequent use in the United States in the twentieth century. It contains
expressions that are familiar to many Americans and other expressions
that are used primarily within small groups of people. The entries
represent the language of the underworld, the nursery, the college campus,
California beaches, urban back streets, and Wall Street. We hear
from prisoners, surfers, junkies, Valley Girls, blacks, weight lifters, and
just plain folks. Fad words, metaphors, wordplay, and various figures
of speech make up the body of the dictionary
