The Oxford Dictionary of Rhyming Slang

Although the lack of an index for the words you want to 'translate' into rhyming slang (as opposed to the other way round) was a bit of a disappointment, this book lives up to all other expectations, and made an ideal Christmas gift for a Yorkshireman who's fascinated by London. Infact it kept him quiet the whole festive period! The inclusion of some Australian rhyming slang references would be useful to some students of the genre, but isn't too scholarly for the casual browser.

I was really looking for a short 10 page list of popular phrases, so this was much longer. But some unknown items are surprising and interesting.

An excellent book for those who like linguistics

Will make a good gift

purchased as a present for someone who like to write poems/limericks and uses this a lot
