"The author traces the development of English slang from the earliest records to the latest tweet. It explores why and how slang is used, and traces the development of slang in English-speaking nations around the world. The records of the Old Bailey and machine-searchable newspaper collections provide a wealth of new information about historical slang, while blogs and tweets provide us with a completely new perspective on contemporary slang. Based on inside information from real liveslang users as well as the best scholarly sources, this book is guaranteed to teach you some new words that you should never use in polite company"--Provided by publisher
