In that case, let me be the first. (And if I haven't got the joke, mea
culpa). Setting aside the academic expertise of such as Connie Eble, Edith
Folb (black slang by the way),  and Julie Chapman (currently writing a
multi-volume history of slang dictionaries), and the peerless slang
bibliophile sans pareil Madeleine Kripke, my partner Susan Ford works with
me day in day out on my slang researches. I believe she may even
understand what she's doing.
