Description
The undisputed master of slang today is Jonathon Green, whose magnum opus, Green’s Dictionary of Slang, was 17 years in the making. It contains 110,000 headwords supported by 415,000 quotations spread out over 6,200 pages. It’s the fullest scholarly treatment of slang available. As in the OED, every entry is supported by documented quotations, with the earliest known citation for every sense. Green keeps it up to date in an online version, which is freely available.
