About This Book

The volume is an alphabetically arranged historical dictionary of heterodox and colloquial speech that documents slang, cant, and informal phrases across centuries. Entries provide concise definitions, variant forms and phrases, word origins and cross-language synonyms, and dated literary citations illustrating usage. Headwords include verbs, nouns, adjectives, and idiomatic compounds, plus usage notes and regional or register distinctions. This volume covers the alphabetical range from Fla–Hyps and emphasizes comparative links among English, French, German, Italian, and other equivalents.
