About The Book: "A Dictionary of Modern Slang, Cant, and Vulgar Words" is a thorough examination of slang across various societal settings, from London's streets to parliamentary chambers. It traces the evolution of slang from ancient times to contemporary usage, categorizing terms by domain and providing glossaries for specialized slang languages like Back Slang and Rhyming Slang.
