THE OXFORD DICTIONARY OF SLANG

Saving the alphabetical listing for the index, British lexicographer Ayto presents terms in sections on areas of life and the world that generate slang. Leading the pack, unsurprisingly, are the body and its functions, and people and society. Others include sustenance and intoxication, thought and communication, and location and movement. Each entry includes the date of the first known written appearance, a definition and sometimes an explanation, and a recent example.
