American slang por Robert L. Chapman

Overall I find the book unsatisfying, even though it's fun to browse. For example, it doesn't have "coon's age", a term I've always wondered about--is the coon an animal or a person? Etymologies are incomplete or non-existent, some of the terms are more idiom than slang ("man-about-town"), and some are regular dictionary words (to marry, as to join or bring together).

All of these nit-picks may mean I should shell out for the unabridged edition, but I think a better job could have been done on the abridgment.… (más)
