Well, most of the sources have already been mentioned by others, including
the infamous Berkeley _Dictionary of Russian Obscenities_ (Berkeley Slavic
Specialties, Berkeley, 1980) which I happen to have on my shelf. In the
preface, there is a brief survey of the "genre" -- again, most of the ones
noted there have already been cited in postings to this list. Things I
have not seen mentioned include a 1977 _Supplement_ to Galler and Marquess'
1972 book, and the fact that the "need" for reference works of this type
was made clear by the reissuance of Afanas'ev's _Russkie zavetnye skazki_.
Such is the contribution of this kind soul...
