Tom Dalzell, Terry Victor - "Sex Slang"
Publisher: Routledge | 2008 | ISBN: 0415371805 | English | True PDF | 212 pages | 2.09 Mb

Are you a beaver cleaver or the office bike? Would you rather pack fudge or munch carpet?
Do you content yourself with paddling the pickle as you→re still a cherry boy?
Sex Slang not only gives you 3,000 new words to talk about your favourite pastimes but will also open your eyes to practices you didn'→t even know existed. This naughty little book, infused with humour, will give you a spectacular sexual vocabulary from all over the English speaking world, as well as hours of reading pleasure.

In the world of slang, sex slang is about as good as it gets. You can pretend to be appalled by this slang, if not the sexual practices described, but if you weren’t amused with the wit and creativity of unconventional vocabulary you wouldn’t be holding this book in your hands in the first place. We are hard-wired for a linguistic resourcefulness that always matches, and usually surpasses, our physical and sexual invention. Most sexual slang represents practices as old as the ages – newly discovered, of course, by the next generation. New sexual activity is extremely rare but you will find there’s always a word for it in these pages. The need for slang as an intimate language and defender of moral transgression is readily apparent. As the next generation is always inventing sex for the first time sex can never be entirely conventional. The excitement of discovery and danger, of outrage and rebellion against the mainstream, is evident in this small dictionary of sex slang.

Review
"Acknowledging that some of these words may offend, slang collectors Dalzell (US) and Victor (Wales) present some 3,000 words drawn from their New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (2005). Entries on terms from "anal" to "zooms" feature the UK spelling except for foreign and pidgin words, a concise definition, country of origin, and dated citation. Highlighted boxes feature synonyms and related terms for selected words. Offensive perhaps, but certainly educational!" – Book News Inc., August 2008
