This is a smaller version of Dalzell and Victor's 2006 New Partridge Dictionary

of Slang and Unconventional English(LJ5/15/06). Unlike its predecessor, a

two-volume, 2000-plus-page tome, the Conciseedition is a much slimmer-and also

more affordable-one-volume work. In addition to all the slang terms included in

the previous publication, the editors have added several hundred new words to

this dictionary, for a total of over 60,000 entries. Arranged alphabetically,

the dictionary lists the word or phrase, the part of speech, a brief definition,

sometimes the history of the phrase, the originating country, and an approximate

date of origin. Phrases are chosen from numerous English-speaking countries,

including the United States, the U.K., South Africa, and even Antarctica. Some

of the terms have become international, while others have not migrated from

their country of origin. Also, while some phrases have dropped out of common

usage, other words are still understood after several centuries. All the slang

terms from the previous book have been preserved, but the smaller format

requires certain concessions. Although the headword is easily legible in bold

print, the font becomes progressively smaller as you move through the citation.

Readers may find the date difficult to read. The full-scale edition also cites

examples of the phrase used in documentaries, movies, fiction, or literature.
