Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. This is purely a glossary of slang, organized by years. Some sidebars group slang by topic. Although the book was interesting, I was disappointed that definitions were purely denotative and descriptive, and little to no etymological data was given. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
