Summary
From street slang to scientific developments and geopolitical name changes, from MTV whimsy to Washington politics, this book offers a generous sampling of the English of the 1980s and early 1990s. The definitions are enhanced with examples of actual usage, historical background, and pronunciations for difficult words.--From publisher description.
