About this book

"Fully revised and updated - the ultimate guide to black talk from all segments of the African American community.". "Do you want to be down with the latest hype terms from the Hip Hop world? Black Talk is the perfect source. This new edition of Black Talk includes more than 300 new words and phrases and, now more than ever, reflects the ever-changing meanings and uses of this vital and rich part of our language. In a style that is always informative and always entertaining, Geneva Smitherman takes this dictionary far beyond a list of words. Black Talk is a cultural map that charts word meanings along the highways and byways of African American life."--BOOK JACKET.
