A few years back, this book was the only game in town for anyone who wanted to scan a list of slang options for a given word. Good selection of words. Trouble is, it's extremely cumbersome to search for a word, because many words are filed under a less familiar slang word -- to look up "marijuana," you have to look under "pot." "Drunk" is found under "on the sauce." There is an index system, but it's not terribly efficient.
