Features: This is a very practical slang dictionary. In addition to accurate and concise explanations and a large number of appropriate examples, it also provides key guidance information that helps accurately grasp the meaning and usage of the slang entries collected, marked in parentheses and placed after the annotations. For example: (usuallyobjectionable) (usually objectionable); (Italian) (from Italian); (collegiate) (college student slang) and so on. Most of the annotations for slang in this dictionary adopt the form of directly providing corresponding standard English synonyms, so learners can not only learn slang but also learn some useful standard English expressions that are rarely seen in textbooks and general books.
