Annotation
In this work, the author "collects slang used in the United States since 1945, recording and celebrating the language of beats, hipsters, hippies, pimps and hookers, druggies, surfers, Valley Girls, dudes, truck drivers, computer hackers, punks, ravers, soldiers, gay men and lesbians, prisoners, sex dancers, and more. Citations from popular literature bring entries to life, illustrating the social fabric from which the slang emerges.
