Straight from the fridge, dad

I bought this for my best friend and fully expect some groovy slang to be slipped into conversations from now on!

this is a great little book. clever, witty and informative.
i got it for my dad who is 78 and he's now talking in a strange bygone vernacular that no one understands except the young hoods on the corner of the street.
get it and book your place in cool-dom

So cool it's cold, as the title would suggest. I got this book as a stocking filler and couldn't put it down, although most of the hipster slang is gangster speak and of varying degrees of vulgarity, it is side splittingly funny.
Trying to picture people actually holding a conversation talking like this is probably the best thing about it.
I've given it three stars because it's not really a book that you'd read again and again, but well worth a look.
Buy this book or six of your friends will be carrying you by the handles, Jack.

Unhook your ears, Jack. This aint no sucker bait. This hot little book is real gone, totally sent. I mean this book fractured me, I was paralysed man! If any of you long-gone daddies out there wanna impress the hot little mouse in your life then this is the bible for you. I used to be just a palooka in a bluesey groove. But since I've read this book I'm a jitterbuggin' hepcat with a whoopee mama on each arm! So get off the fence, Hortense. Buy this book.
