  • "Fizzbo, roof rat, gazoonie, wallah, dead presidents, Mr. Ed, sin bin, double Chrissie, choiceamundo. If you aren't familiar with these words, you may be in the dark about what people with specialized interests are saying among themselves. In Idiom Savant, you'll find out. This colorful and altogether unique wordbook gives the slang of such different American groups as bird watchers, prison inmates, lawyers, gamblers, magicians, FBI agents, disc jockeys, firefighters, football players, sky divers, journalists, wrestlers, restaurant workers, and dozens of others. The focus of this slang is on wit - from wry to outrageous - on wordplay, and on irreverent and often downright derogatory terms for things and people."
