N2  - "The slang dictionary: Etymological, historical and anecdotal" by John Camden Hotten is a dictionary of slang first published in 1859. This groundbreaking lexicon captures the vivid, ever-changing language of Victorian London streets, from criminal cant to rhyming slang. Hotten documents the colorful expressions used across all social classes—in Parliament chambers, university halls, and city dens alike. More than mere definitions, the work includes etymologies, historical context, and Hotten's provocative theory that slang thrives wherever crowds gather and artificial life breeds wit, satire, and pointed street humor.
