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 Expressions2. Knickers in a Twist: A Dictionary of British Slang3. From Grill to Dome: A Dictionary of African American Slang Words and Phrases4. The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms5.
