«Thesaurus of Slang» (Wordsworth Collection) is the slang thesaurus by Esther Lewin and Albert E. Lewin, published in paperback.
It brings together more than 165,000 slang terms, idioms and colloquialisms of contemporary English, uncensored, with definitions, examples and, often, the origins of the words. It works as a thesaurus for finding informal alternatives to standard vocabulary: «comic» becomes «boffo» or «loony», and «good-looking» can be «stud muffin» or «beddy».
Revised edition in 1994; published in August 1997. The cover places it in the Wordsworth Reference collection.
Intended for writers, students of English and readers interested in colloquial language.
