"...includes colloquialisms, idioms, catchphrases, slang expressions, acronyms, trade names, organizations, events, fictional characters, and titles of films, plays, novels, television programs, and works of art....a valuable record of 20th century words, expressions, and cultural allusions."-- Booklist .
