A must for anyone interested in our earthy mother tongue.

This book, while definitely slanted towards the eastern end of the Atlantic is still a valuable resource for explaining just what terms such as "pinhead" mean to non-native speakers. For Americans, it makes for enjoyable bathroom reading as well as a handy guide to the more obscure aspects of British vernacular. The book's only shortcoming is its lack of depth concerning modern-day US slang.
