Here is a wonderful Baedeker to down-and-dirty politics--more than six hundred slang terms straight from the smoke-filled rooms of American political speech. Hatchet Jobs and Hardball: The Oxford Dictionary of American Political Slang illuminates a rich and colorful segment of our language. Readers will find informative entries on slang terms such as Beltway bandit and boondoggle, angry white male and leg treasurer, juice bill and Joe Citizen, banana superpower and the Big Fix. We find not only the meaning and history of familiar terms such as gerrymander, but also of lesser-known terms such as cracking (splitting a bloc of like-minded voters by redistricting) and fair-fight district (which refers to areas redistricted to favor no political party). Each entry includes the definition of the word, its historical background, and illuminating citations, some going back more than 200 years. (We learn, for instance, that a term as seemingly current as political football actually dates back to before the Civil War.) Selected entries will have extended encyclopedic notes. The book also features sidebar essays on topics such as political words in Blogistan; a short history of "big cheese"; all about chads and the 2000 election; the suffix "-gate" and all the related Watergate terms; and the naming of legislation. Political junkies, policy wonks, journalists, and word lovers will find this book addictive reading as well as a reliable guide to one of the more colorful corners of American English.

Cromosys Publication's English Dictionary of Modern Slang book is an optimal quality guide to the beginners as well as advanced learners of English slang. This is an unmatchable and unique book of its kind that guarantees your success in terms of getting acquainted to the modern usage of slang words in current era. You may have seen many other books on slang but most of them are outdated and of no use because their junk of unacceptable, profane, and bad words creates a nuisance in English. Some lexicographers don't know that there is a difference between slang and nonsense, and everything what is nonsense can not be brought into the social circumference of a language. Considering that point, giving best effort to this venture, this book is created as a profound compilation of new, accepted and nearly acceptable words with their unique established meaning for today's world. Giving utmost attention and care, spending fifteen years in research, we have harbored those words which are meaningful and having a base in the slang world. Being the best reference for the entire globe, this book holds its significance of being dynamic, systemic, lucid and blissful with pure and perfect arrangement of words with their meaning written in the easiest way. This book is highly useful for the people working in communication based industry, media houses, entertainment world, and for those who are teachers, writers, researchers and students. And definitely for those who love languages - especially English!
