Dewdroppers, Waldos, And Slackers: A Decade-By-Decade Guide To The Vanishing Vocabulary Of The Twentieth Century
Oxford University Press Inc

A nostalgic word trip through the highs and lows of American English from the last century, this book pays special attention to words that enjoyed a brief vogue only to end up abandoned and nearly forgotten: jet jockeys, keypunch operators, the bugged-out and the slackers.
