文档介绍：The Concise New Partridge Dictionary of Slang
and Unconventional English
The Concise New Partridge presents, for the first time, all the slang terms from the New Partridge
Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English in a single volume.
With over 60,000 entries from around the English-speaking world, the Concise gives you the
language of beats, hipsters, Teddy Boys, mods and rockers, hippies, pimps, druggies, whores,
punks, skinheads, ravers, surfers, Valley girls, dudes, pill-popping truck drivers, hackers, rappers
and more.
The Concise New Partridge is a spectacular resource infused with humour and learning – it’s
rude, it’s delightful, and it’s a prize for anyone with a love of language.
