The practice of recording slang in Anglo-American dictionaries goes back to the
1780s. Francis Grose published A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, the first known
lexicon of slang. In the nineteenth century through the early twentieth century, several
dictionaries of slang were produced, but it was not until 1937 that Eric Partridge’s A
Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English was published. It was enlarged and reprinted
several times through the 1980s and remains one of the best resources available. Since then,
numerous dictionaries of slang have appeared, especially on the Internet. (Introduction)
