l.receiver of book ...no response

I gave the book as a gift, the individual said it looked interesting, but he has not even looked at it yet. He is very busy and was surprised by the gift, I think. Language usage is one of his favorite studies, so I expect he will check it out someday.Slang Through the Ages

Kojak with a Kodak

Kojak with a Kodak is one of the obscure/ strange entries you can find in this "dictionary". While most of the terms are thoroughly researched and well explained, it is very difficult to find the words or frases due to the book's lack of a word index. If you want an EXCELLENT slang dictionary, purchase John Ayto's Oxford Slang. Now that is a great dictionary. But anyways , you will not be disappointed with Slang Through the Ages (if you can find it)
