Emphasis on post-World War II slang and unconventional English. Dating information for each headword. A preface noting slang trends of the last five years: over 1,000 new entries from the US, UK and Australia, reflecting important developments in language and culture. New terms from the language of social networking from a range of digital communities including texting, blogs, Facebook, Twitter and online forums"--Provided by publisher.
