Naz's Dictionary of Teen Slang is a collection of slang words and phrases used by teenagers and youth cultures throughout the past century. An entertaining and often humorous look at the history of our language, and many of the terms now being rediscovered by a new generation rebelling against the old, this may be one way to help span the generation gap. The greatest changes to the American English language come from immigrants and the young. This volume documents approximately 2200 words and 2700 definitions of slang used by teenagers during this century. It can also be an invaluable reference for hospitals, law enforcement officials, journalists, psychologists & psychiatrists, screenwriters, attorneys, athletic departments, social service agencies, writers' groups, linguists, and language researchers who must communicate with teens of today, or accurately represent those of the past. Years of association with various cultures and subcultures and publication of his popular (and much larger and more exhaustive) earlier book Naz's Underground Dictionary has provided the author with the background to publish this unique collection of slang.
