<DIV><FONT face=Courier size=2>Eric Partridge (sp?) wrote a Dictionary of
Unconventional English or someone reviewed it under that "title." I
believe that it is still in print but I do not recall by which publisher.
I believe that he also includes the usual scatological terminology that a
gentleman uses only as appropriate and never in the actual or internet presence
of a lady.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Im interested in the origin in certain slang
words often used to put out-of-power groups down, any ideas where the words
"kike" or " dyke" come from? I ask in all seriousness and would love a
reference to a book of etymologial slang--?? Thanks <A
