 Dictionary of American Slang

The Dictionary of American Slang is a dictionary of slang edited by Stuart Flexner and Harold Wentworth, first published in 1960 by Thomas Crowell Company.The first three editions (1960, 1967, 1975) were edited by Flexner and Wentworth, while the third (1995) and fourth editions (2010) were largely reworked and edited by Barbara Ann Kipfer and Robert L. Chapman

The dictionary was banned from some schools in California in 1963 as part of larger concern with its potential obscenity, including concern from Los Angeles City Councilman John C. Holland.
