This is the second volume of a historical and comparative dictionary of slang and related expressions, covering entries from C to 'Fizzle.' It records the heterodox speech of all classes of society over more than three centuries, with synonyms in English, French, German, Italian, and others. It is worth listening to as a lively record of language and everyday culture.
