An idiom dictionary allows you to get the definition of an idiom, but what you want is a different but equally colorful synonymous phrase. No longer must you write such lousy, pukey, grody prose. Instead of reading like pablum, deadsville, dull as dishwater, your formerly cheesy, nowhere, gasser, downer, descriptions can be transformed into text that's killer, sensaysh, wiggy, and real gone. It'll make your teacher or editor yawp, holler, and beller like all get out, and just browsing reignites the joy of playing with language. --Stephanie Gold
The largest number of new terms is found among the slang words relating to the drug culture. "There are more new terms for marijuana than in any other category: 98 new words amounting to a 46 percent increase." Drunk continues to be the largest single category with more than 800 slang terms, although the new entries in this category amounted to only 7 percent. Other categories showing a significant increase were sex, guns, and racial words and phrases, most of which are derogatory. A revised bibliography of sources used in compiling the thesaurus is included.
High school, public, and academic libraries that did not purchase the original edition should consider acquiring the newer version. Libraries owning the earlier edition may wish to replace it with the revised and expanded volume.
