Pardon us while we continue our recent obsession with word-lists. We just acquired a copy of the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang, Vol. 1 (A-G), and we don’t think it’ll be long before we track down Volume 2. We’re horrified to learn that legal troubles are interfering with the publication of the third and final volume – RH has stopped work on the last volume and is engaged in a royalties struggle with the editor. Let us all pray that all parties come to an amicable settlement, and that nothing further interferes with our desperate need to have the complete etymology of yutz at our fingertips.
