<br>
<br>     There is SLANG DOWN THE AGES: THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF SLANG (1993)
<br>by Jonathon Green.
<br>     There is also a recent book by Writer's Digest books that has new words
<br>through the years--I forget the title, but I'm sure any issue of Writer's
<br>Digest has something about their books.
<br>      For new American words year by year, there is also (Oh gee, what's that
<br>book?) AMERICA IN SO MANY WORDS (1997) by David K. Barnhart and Allan A.
<br>Metcalf.
<br>      All should be available within a few days through Amazon.com
