Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Slang, Jargon Cant, Vol. 1: Embracing English, American, and Anglo-Indian Slang To a very great number of respectable and by no means uneducated persons, slang is simply a collective name for vulgar expressions, the most refined individual being the one who uses it least. To them it is all that which in speech is "tabu," or forbidden. Others regard it as the jargon of thieves, which has spread to costermongers and street-arabs, though in justice to the worthy people first mentioned it must be admitted that many of them are so fortified in their ignorance of what is beneath them, that they are unaware that thieves have a lingo of their own. Others, again, believe that it is identical with the gypsy tongue or Romany, an opinion which, in spite of its easily demonstrated etymological absurdity, has held its ground for more than a century; whilst several writers, such as the author of the "Life of Bampfield (or Bampfylde) Moore Carew," have published so-called gypsy vocabularies, in which barely half-a-dozen words of corrupt Romany are to be found. Many, not without good excuse, find it very difficult to distinguish between technical terms not as yet recognised by lexicographers, and those which are, to all intents and purpose, firmly established. It is worthy of notice, let it be said en passant, that the two nations at the head of the intellectual movement, England and France, have the most extensive slang vocabulary, the two being about on a par in that respect.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Slang, Jargon and Cant, Vol. 1: Embracing English, American, and Anglo-Indian Slang, Pidgin English, Tinker's Jargon, and Other Irregular Phraseology; A-K Each profession or trade has its lingo, not to be mistaken for technical phraseology. Thus in cricket wickets is technical, but sticks is slang to put a break on a ball the former, to put stufl on it the latter. Bone shaker, the old type of bicycle, is slang; but kangaroo, the latest improvement on the spider bicycle, and which in shape somewhat resembles the primitive bone shaker, belongs to the technical phraseology of 'cycle machinists.

Book excerpt: With its unparalleled coverage of English slang of all types (from 18th-century cant to contemporary gay slang), and its uncluttered editorial apparatus, Cassell's Dictionary of Slang was warmly received when its first edition appeared in 1998. 'Brilliant.' said Mark Lawson on BBC2's The Late Review; 'This is a terrific piece of work - learned, entertaining, funny, stimulating' said Jonathan Meades in The Evening Standard.But now the world's best single-volume dictionary of English slang is about to get even better.

This has entailed trawling through more than 4000 books - plus song lyrics, TV and movie scripts, and many newspapers and magazines - for relevant material. The research has thrown up some fascinating results
