The City in Slang: New York Life and Popular Speech
Allen, Irving Lewis (Professor of Sociology, Professor of Sociology, University of Connecticut)
Irving Lewis Allen provides an insightful history of the rise of New York as a metropolis and the accompanying slang that surrounded it. Anecdotal and at times analytical, this book is both a lexicon of slang and a history of recent casual language.
