The City in Slang: New York Life and Popular Speech
Allen
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.
