Review title: "Yuppie Larva"
Product review: Learning that "yuppie larva" is a term used to describe privileged kids acting snotty was reward enough for me to like this book.While it is true that a few of the categories seem part of common knowledge (see the reader review complaining about the bodybuilder nomenclature), author Reid does a good job putting slang into context and keeping things moving along. It seems to me that most word lovers would enjoy taking a spin through this well-designed book.One more example, from the bicycling chapter: "FDGB" is an acronym for "Fall Down, Go Boom." *smile*Also recommended:Slang: The Topical Dictionary of Americanisms
