Description
From an Annie Oakley to a zoo daddy, from an ace boon to a zazz up, this invaluable dictionary is a hot diggety guide to the Yankee jive-the way ourgoombahs from the land of Uncle Sam like to rap it, goof it and sometimes even speak it. Schlubbos and six-pack Joes, schtoonks and palookas, blivits and bogarts, sysops and tube steaks, are just a few of the colourful words and phrases in this zinger of a book which is educational as well as being very high on the boffola scale. AMERICAN SLANG gives the meaning of thousands of new words and phrases, providing examples of usage along with a clear and concise etymology. 'American slang at its rip-roaring, zany, zappy best' DR ROBERT BURCHFIELD, Editor, OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY
