Language is alive and always changing, and slang, one of its most volatile elements, is a very elusive part of human communication. It may drop out of use gradually or quickly, or it may become accepted into standard English. In this work, the compiler has confined himself to current usage, and has avoided the area of more formal and standard colloquialism included in the companion volume, A Concise Dictionary of English idioms.
The book will provide an invaluable and colourful insight into contemporary English for both students and general readers.
