Containing over 60,000 entries, this concise new edition of the authoritative work details the slang and unconventional English of from around the English-speaking world since 1945, and through the first decade of the new millennium, with the same thorough, intense, and lively scholarship that characterized Partridge’s own work.

  • emphasis on post-World War II slang and unconventional English
  • dating information for each headword
  • in the tradition of Partridge, commentary on the term’s origins and meaning.

New to this second edition:

  • a new preface noting slang trends of the last eight 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
  • many entries now revised to include new dating and new glosses, ensuring maximum accuracy of content.

The Concise New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English 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.
