NTC’S DICTIONARY OF AMERICAN SLANG AND COLLOQUIAL EXPRESSIONS
The Most Practical Reference For The Informal Expressions Of Contemporary American English
Guide to the Use of the Dictionary
1. Entries are alphabetized according to an absolute alphabetical order that ignores all punctuation. The hyphen is treated the same as a space. Entries beginning with numerals precede the alphabetic entries.
2. The first step in finding an expression is to try looking it up in the body of the dictionary. Entries that consist of two or more words are entered in their normal order, such as chill someone’s action. Phrases are never inverted or reordered like action, chill someone’s or track, off the.
3. If you do not find the expression you want or if you cannot decide on the exact form of the expression, look up any major word in the expression in the “Phrase-Finder Index,” which begins on page 485. There you will find all the multiword expressions that contain the word you have looked up. Pick out the expression you want, and look it up in the body of the dictionary.
4. Entry expressions appear in boldface type. When words or expressions that are not entries in this dictionary are cited, they appear in italics. Function codes and examples appear in italics.
5. A main entry may have one or more alternative forms. The alternatives are printed in boldface type and are preceded by “and.”
6. Definitions are in roman type. Alternative or closely related definitions are separated by semicolons.
7. Some definitions contain restrictive comments in parentheses that help to make the definition clearer. These comments limit the context in which the expression can be used.
8. Comments in parentheses after a definition give additional information about the expression, including any cautions, comments on origins, or indications of cross-referencing. Each numbered sense can have its own comments.
9. Every expression is followed by a function code that indicates the grammatical or syntactic function of the expression. These codes are NTC’s Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions.
00. in italics. The function codes provide a way of determining the grammatical or syntactic function of a particular expression as it occurs in its examples. Expressions functioning as nominals (nouns, noun phrases, etc.) are marked n. Expressions serving to modify, restrict, or qualify (adjectives, adjective phrases, adverbs, adverb phrases, etc.) are marked mod. Expressions that are transitive verbs or transitive verb phrases (a transitive verb, its object(s), modifier(s), and auxiliaries) are marked tv. Expressions that are intransitive verbs or intransitive verb phrases (an intransitive verb, its auxiliaries, and modifiers) are marked in. Other abbreviations are
explained in the section titled “Terms and Symbols.”
10. Some expressions that are modifiers (marked mod.) can occur only before or after the things they modify. Other modifiers can occur both before and after the things they modify. The distribution of modifiers is illustrated in the examples.
11. Many expressions have more than one major sense or meaning. These meanings are numbered with boldface numerals.
12. Sometimes a numbered sense will have an alternative form that does not apply to the other senses. In such cases the “and” plus the alternative forms follow the numeral.
13. Entries that contain unfamiliar words and entries whose spelling is misleading have an indication of pronunciation in International Phonetic Alphabet symbols. See the symbols and their values in the “Pronunciation Guide.”
14. In some entries, comments direct the user to other entries for additional information through the use of the terms “Go to” or “See also.” The expressions mentioned are in special type.
15. If an entry has a grammatical structure that requires a nominal to serve as a subject or object, the nominal is represented by someone for human nominals or something for nonhuman nominals. When both human and nonhuman nominals are possible, someone or something is used.
