Title: The title of this book is misleading
Review: I bought this book because the title implied that it would be a reference for slang and euphemism. It is not even close to being that. The front of the book may give a clue to its contents but, still it is not clear. The front of the book lists the type of slang included in the book, including "Oaths, Curses, Insults, Ethnic Slurs" ... "College Lingo and Related Matters". However, it seems that many of the words included in the book that fall into this list of categories, also fall into the category of drugs, sex and alcohol. The majority of words are related to "Sexual Slang and Metaphor" and "Drug Talk". There is nothing wrong with this. It seems to me that this book does a pretty thorough job of listing such slang and euphemism, but that's not what I wanted and that's not what the title promised.Buy this book... that is, if you have the need to speak, write or understand drug, sex and drunkeness slang.
Is the review positive or negative?
