Slang Dictionary

By Oliver T. Spedding

Slang is gradually taking its place in everyday language. More and more people are recognizing slang's amusing, colourful and descriptive properties and finding that slang is often more expressive than the English language. Slang is becoming a language of its own and is spreading silently and unobtrusively into all walks of life. It's surprising how many words that are considered to be normal English were originally slang words.

About the Author

Slang is gradually taking its place in everyday language. More and more people are recognising slang’s amusing, colourful and descriptive properties and finding that slang is often more expressive than the English language. Slang is becoming a language of its own and is spreading silently and unobtrusively into all walks of life. It’s surprising how many words that are considered to be normal English were originally slang words.
