Wunnerfitz! Sollybuster! The Fun of the Dictionary of American Regional English

document Distributed Knowledge
Summary The final volume of a landmark dictionary of American colloquialisms is finally complete after more than half a century, and it’s a whoopensocker of a book, writes Ammon Shea.
Description This is a dictionary that was crowdsourced before crowdsourcing was a common online behavior. The entries are provided by people who use them. They are then sorted, defined, and given additional citations by a team of trained lexicographers, who provide citations illustrating how these words are used, extracted from sources as diverse as factory workers in Maine and William Faulkner.
