Green's Dictionary of Slang online
"Green’s Dictionary of Slang is the culmination of a life’s work for Green. First published in print
as a three-volume behemoth in 2010, to awards and rave reviews, it now
emerges in digital form with about 30% ‘revised, augmented and generally
improved’...
Green’s Dictionary of Slang Online can be searched for
definitions, first uses, etymologies, parts of speech, authors, titles,
usage labels, etc. As the press release puts it: ‘Those who wish to know
how many words James Joyce used for sexual intercourse or Charles
Dickens for drunk will find their answers. And whether any came from
Yiddish.’..
There are two levels of access. The basics (headword, definition,
etymology) are freely available to the public. The rest (citations,
timeline, full search) are for subscribers: initially £49 ($60) a year
for single users, £10 ($12.50) for students.
