Reader Reviews
While I enjoyed the previous edition of this idea, this book left me feeling a little cheated and a bit let down. It seems as if this publisher is now stretching thin a once good idea. Sure, there are more than enough unusual and interesting entries to give you a few nights worth of guffaws, but overall, you can get more from just visiting the website or signing up for their 'word of the day'. I usually purchase a lot of pop-culture dictionaries and reference books, but this isn't one of the better ones by a long shot. Try these if you're so inclined: 1. McGraw-Hill's Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions 2. Knickers in a Twist: A Dictionary of British Slang 3. From Grill to Dome: A Dictionary of African American Slang Words and Phrases 4. The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms 5. Talk the Talk: The Slang of 65 American Subcultures 6. The Devil's Dictionary 7. The Devil's Dictionaries: The Best of the Devil's Dictionary and the American Heretic's Dictionary
