The three volumes of Green's Dictionary of Slang demonstrate
the sheer scope of a lifetime of research by Jonathon Green,
the leading slang lexicographer of our time. A remarkable
collection of this often reviled but endlessly fascinating
area of the English language, it covers slang from the past
five centuries right up to the present day, from all the
different English-speaking countries and regions. Totaling
10.3 million words and over 53,000 entries, the collection
provides the definitions of 100,000 words and over 413,000
citations. Every word and phrase is authenticated by genuine
and fully-referenced citations of its use, giving the work a
level of authority and scholarship unmatched by any other
publication in this field.
