FIRST OF ALL I DO NOT USUALLY READ BOOKS LIKE THIS! I WAS TOLD ABOUT A FEW WORDS THAT WERE ONLINE(ANOTHER WEB SITE). SO I MISTAKENLY PURCHASED THIS BOOK. I THOUGHT THE BOOK WAS ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE ALL TOGETHER BUT I GAVE IT TO A FRIEND OF MINE THAT LIKES THAT KIND OF STUFF! I JUST DID'NT WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL THE MESS OF SENDING THE BOOK BACK FOR A REFUND. SO ALL IN ALL THIS IS MY REVIEW OF THE BOOK 2 THUMBS DOWN, AND IF I HAD MO' THUMBS I WOULD ADD THOSE IN TOO!

While I enjoyed the previous edition of this idea, this book left me feeling a little cheated and a bit let down. It seems as if this publisher is now stretching thin a once good idea.
Sure, there are more than enough unusual and interesting entries to give you a few nights worth of guffaws, but overall, you can get more from just visiting the website or signing up for their 'word of the day'.
I usually purchase a lot of pop-culture dictionaries and reference books, but this isn't one of the better ones by a long shot.
Try these if you're so inclined:
1. McGraw-Hill's Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions
2. Knickers in a Twist: A Dictionary of British Slang
3. From Grill to Dome: A Dictionary of African American Slang Words and Phrases
4. The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms
5. Talk the Talk: The Slang of 65 American Subcultures
6. The Devil's Dictionary
7. The Devil's Dictionaries: The Best of the Devil's Dictionary and the American Heretic's Dictionary

Gave this book to my sister for Christmas and we spent the rest of the night cracking up over it.
