Apparently Santa thought I needed to have my vocabulary updated, as my stocking contained this funny little book defining slang terms. The entries are organized by content category (tech slang, sports slang, urban, etc.). In some instances I couldn't imagine the target audience -- would anyone who doesn't know what a "hottie" or a "blog" is be reading this book? But in general it was fun, and I don't want to harsh the author's mellow by nit picking. Now I have to bounce, so I can post reviews of the weightier books I've consumed during my Christmas vacation. Peace out.
