The job of slang lies in its inventiveness. Finding terms with which to discuss sex (biff, bang, bonk) and alcohol (to sluice the ivories) has exercised our verbal ingenuity almost since we learned to speak. Slang down the Ages tackles its subject theme by theme and traces its evolution over the past 500 years."A thumping tribute to the magpie instincts of its author and to the English linguistic fecundity."
