A compact, lively guide to the ever-shifting world of American slang, this reference work gathers colloquial words and expressions drawn from everyday speech across the United States. Harold Wentworth, a noted American lexicographer who specialized in slang and informal language, was known for documenting vernacular speech with scholarly care and an ear for authenticity. This volume reflects that expertise, offering concise definitions and insights into usage that capture the flavor of mid‑20th‑century American life. Both a practical reference and a cultural snapshot, it will appeal to language enthusiasts, writers, historians, and anyone curious about how Americans really talked beyond the formal dictionary.
