Slang is a colourful, alternative vocabulary. It bristles with humour,
vituperation, prejudice, informality: the slang of English is English with its sleeves rolled up, its shirt-tails dangling, and its shoes covered in mud.
The Oxford Dictionary of Slang presents a panoramic view of twentieth-century English slang – from Britain, North America, Australia, and elsewhere in the English-speaking world – from World War I until the present day.
