This extensive text by the author is a dictionary of slang terms and expressions used throughout the cultures of English-speaking peoples, from the Victorian era to the early 20th Century.

The dictionary contains a wealth of information about the etymology and diverse origins of slang terms, and the author discusses how slang has been influenced by everything from Celtic and Romany languages to Yiddish, Anglo-Indian dialects and Pidgin English. This fascinating and detailed text is a unique insight into how slang has shaped the English language and offers a glimpse into the hidden worlds of many different communities.
