College Slang 101: A Definitive Guide to Words, Phrases and Meanings They Don't Teach in English Class

Rating:
Summary: Lousy Organization & Out Of Date
Review: I picked up "College Slang 101" looking for a resource for writing. The book was smaller than I expected and the text copyright is 1989, so it's far from current. The book does contain plenty of slang words, but its organization is clunky and confusing. Good luck looking up a common word and finding the current slang equivalent. I was hoping for a book that was fast and easy to navigate (as would be a dictionary, thesaurus, or encyclopedia). "College Slang 101" may be a fine study of college slang but if you're looking for a quick and easy reference book on current slang I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
