Henley's exhaustive dictionary of slang provides a window into how language evolves over time. From the street argot of 18th-century London to the hip lingo of the 1960s, his entries demonstrate the colorful and creative ways in which people use language to express themselves. A must-have for anyone interested in the history of English and the quirks of language.
