    Neat little book with all the lingo

    Not a bad book for someone who may be or interested in the many groups that the book covers. Many of the words might even come up in one's life and you might not know that people and groups use that word for something different than what you might use it for. Or you might find out that you are using in the same context. Good book for word lovers.
