Slang Dictionary

When I was in University, I browsed the used bookstores in Montreal searching for any interesting book. 

In March of 1963 I found Partridge's book "A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English" dated 1961. 

It was a big hit at school that fall. The book records all expressions except the coarse words related to se and the human anatomy - words banned at the time the book was printed but no longer.

The quotes it did contain were educational and down right interesting. Well worth the $8.98 I paid for the hard cover, signature sewn, 1,362 pp dust cover included remaindered new book!
