Product Description
Japanese Street Slang is the first and only exposé of the rough and ready, raw and down-dirty street language as it is used in Japan today. Here's how they really speak: The hustlers and high rollers, the teens and Tokyo yuppies, the gangsters and their ladies of the night. Witty mini-essays trace the fascinating origins of many expressions and the rollicking example sentences reveal just how and where they may be heard.
WARNING: Many of the expressions featured in this book are extremely potent. Beware of using them inadvertently—mass panic might ensue.

missingw (Japan) (2008/06/26):
i'm pretty sure the slang is outdated, but it can be quite funny, it's got stuff that definitely won't be in your textbook! embarrass your japanese friends by reading out loud, preferably in a public place....
