This gave me a view of Idaho different from what I learned in elementary school.

What term do gangsters use for putting a victim's feet in cement? What is cop slang for their gun? What do baseball players call a line drive?

While this book is priceless for a writer seeking to capture the linguistic intricacies of certain professions, it's also just a fun read for those folks who wonder about the slang that is slung by everyone from magicians to musicians, reporters to Wall Streeters. Even funeral directors have their own lexicon.

Sling that slang!

Very few of these are really useful. More are reasonably interesting. Most are either boring or out-dated.
