Philip Gooden “Name Dropping: A No-nonsense Guide to the Use of Names in Everyday Language "

Tony Thorne  “Dictionary of Contemporary Slang "

Review:
This book is absolutely the best about "slang" that I have ever seen. Every "slang" word that I can think of is in here.
If you need books for an interesting read or to help with teaching English then this is one of those you must have.
