New Yawk Tawk: A Dictionary of New York City Expressions - Hardcover
The whole schmeer everything you need to know about New York talk. Speakers from New York City and its surrounding regions have a distinct accent and speech mannerisms all their own. Linguists study them and tough-talking screen gangsters imitate them. Now the phrases, words, expressions, and ethnic roots of New York speech are defined in one handy reference. In A-to-Z format, New Yawk Tawk collects more than 1,200 entries that will take readers on a fun and informative "tour" of the self-proclaimed "Capital of the World."

Review:
"This [New York Tawk] gives me a chance to recommend a range of recent Hendrickson dialect works . . . from 'Yankee Talk' to 'Whistlin' Dixie' to last year's Ozarkian 'Mountain Range.'" -- William Safire, The New York Times Magazine
