Résumé : |
Slang is the language through which we communicate on an everyday basis. Often more colorful and expressive than its formal counterpart, slang is stimulated largely by "sex, money and intoxicating liquor" and, more recently, drugs, and is ever changing and evolving. This lively introduction to the world of slang provides:A highly entertaining guide to the colourful, inventive and frequently irreverent world of slang which enlivens our everyday speech. Newly revised and fully updated with over 4,000 new entries, and topics ranging from crime and religion to money and sex, Jonathon Green's SLANG THESAURUS is the perfect book for anyone captivated by this more "expressive" side of the English language. "Highly entertaining...Every slang phrase you've ever heard of is listed here - and probably thousands you haven't" THE TIMES EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT |
