 A poor rendition August 7, 2008
Basically missing all the best [read: rude and offensive] bits of the website. Buy it if you wanna support them and have something to rest your mug on. I've read it cover to cover and it was nowhere near as good as the website.
 Love that dictionary May 2, 2008
I find it very useful, watching movie and looking for unknown words in the: Urban Dictionary: Fularious Street Slang Defined. 5 stars for creator of this book and everyone who made it possible. Now I win with it! It really, really helps me in every day life, from the morning news till internet chating. I also find shoping at Amazon very easy and useful, I can find what I want and buy what I need. Good work people!
a dictionary that knows how many beans make five November 12, 2007

Clear, entertaining definitions and great examples, all of which make the book fun to read just for the heck of it.
But I am still searching for the reverse slang dictionary: i.e., the one that will give me slang definitions of ordinary words. Be able to look up fast different ways to say prison? Or find different names for drugs? Doing time? Cars? etc... As someone who translates fiction into English it is sometimes frustrating when you have the original "foreign" slang expression and can't for the life of you remmber what its anglo-saxon equivalent is.
Very good book for non-english July 28, 2007

I know internet version of this dictionary. I was looking forward to see paperback version and I am satisfied. I am not native english-speaking person and some of the words were not understable for me. This book help me understand street words.
A+++ product
