The Concise New Partridge presents, for the first time, all the slang terms from The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English in a single volume.

With over 60,000 entries from around the English-speaking world, the Concise gives you the language of beats, hipsters, Teddy Boys, mods and rockers, hippies, pimps, druggies, whores, punks, skinheads, ravers, surfers, Valley girls, dudes, pill-popping truck drivers, hackers, rappers and more.

The Concise New Partridge is a spectacular resource infused with humour and learning – it's rude, it's delightful and it's a prize for anyone with a love of language.

Review: The Concise New Partdrige Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English

Nutzerbericht  - Leonard Pierce - Goodreads

Despite -- or maybe because of -- its heavy reliance on British slang, I like this one a lot more than Chapman's American slang book. Very detailed and well laid out. Vollständige Rezension lesen
