For those who like to keep it further down and a good deal dirtier, Getting Off at Gateshead: The Stories Behind the Dirtiest Words and Phrases in the English Language (Quercus)appeared in 2008. About my libraryA core of slang-related reference works; a large group of books which I not merely read but from which I glean citations (i.e, pulp, crime and hard-boiled fiction of various ages and quality) biographies, history, lowlife, cities, 'non-slang' fiction, rats and all the rest...the agglomeration of a lifetime of loving books.

It's just because of the "Gazophylacium catalano-latinum", a XVIIth century catalan-latin dictionary, one of the elders of my collection.
What do you need about spanish slang?
