Sleng izrazi imaju veći emotivni naboj od standardnih reči koje objašnjavaju isti pojam, a za razliku od njih izražavaju i neku vrstu drskosti prema moralnim i jezičkim autoritetima.

Za neke anglo-američke sleng izraze postoje odgovarajući ekvi- valenti u srpskom jeziku, a za neke se mora tražiti novi izraz. Na pri­mer, Englezi kažu hit the bottle, a Srbi imaju slične izraze: "udarati po piću", iii "cevdti". I jedni i drugi kažu: "frizirati račune" (cook the books), dok recimo za pushover nema odgovarajućeg ekvivalenta na srpskom pa se mora opisno prevesti kao "nešto vrlo lako" i •'mačji kašalj”.

Srđan Vujica, anglista i prevodilac, kaže da je potreba za poja- vom ovakvog rečnika kod nas bila velika, i da će korist od ovog poduhvata svakako biti značajna. "Gerzićev rečnik ima niz pozitiv- nih strana. Ovo se prvenstveno odnosi na izbor obradene grade i jasna objašnjenja, kojima, bar do sada, ovaj prikazivač nije našao veće zamerke. U vezi s tim, naročito važno - srećom i uspešno - je- ste to što je Gerzić, kad je to bilo moguće, u objašnjenjima navodio adekvatne žargonske izraze našeg jezika. Što se tiče preciznosti Rečnika, ona verovatno ima veze i sa dobro izabranom sekundar- nom literaturom koja je navedena na kraju knjige."

Novinar Simo Ćirković piše: "Gerzićev R ečn ik ang lo -am eričkog s lenga Ijubitelji ovog globalnog jezika savremenog sveta doživeće kao otkriće neslućenih nijansi i srpskog i engleskog jezika. Ne be- žeći ni od arhaizama, a poštujući vrhunske odlike beogradskog stila ovaj mladi leksikograf sačinio je delo kojim bi se ponosio i tim stručnjaka."

Nikola Šuica, kritičar, smatra da "za beogradsku sredinu, sa- mostalni izdavački poduhvat pisca i prevodioca Bore Gerzića domi- šljato i inovativno prekriva područje za koje su bile nadležne i prire- divački usmerene mnoge izdavačke kuće i filološke institucije. Uobi- čajeno je da se u beogradskoj kulturi, pak, samostalna inicijativa i istrajnost pokažu značajnijim i važnijim, uprkos što poslednjih godi- na vlada pravilo poražavajućeg obilaženja i nipodaštavajućeg stava prema takvim autohtonim pojavama (...) U bilo kojoj sredini Gerzi- ćev rečnik ovog tipa i ovakve prodornosti bio bi pozdravljen kao iz- davački događaj."

Kako koristiti rečnik

1. Sleng izrazi svrstani su po kljućnoj reči. Ključna reč je reč (najčešće imenica, glagol Ili pridev) koja je izazvala postanak i sli- kovito značenje samog izraza. Prema tome, ako čitalac želi da pro- nađe izraz down the tubes, mora prvo da proceni koja je reč po njemu ključna, i ako dode do zaključka da je to reč tubes potražiće u R ečniku kod slova T. AN izraz može da bude i na drugom mestu u Rečniku, u ovom slučaju pod slovom D. U svakom slučaju, čitalac treba da bude spreman da potraži željeni izraz na više mesta u R ečniku (na drugoj mogućoj ključnoj reči izraza).

2. Izrazi su svrstani po abecedi (npr. catch it je iznad catch on. Nisu uzimani u obzir samo članovi (the, a, an) na početku izraza. Red u zagradama uzimane su u obzir (npr. one’s u izrazu have (one’s) end off).

3. U nekim slučajevima sleng izraz ima dva ili vise oblika, a isto ili vrlo slično značenje: flog the lizard, flog the log, flog the dong, flog the meat. U R ečniku je dato: flog the lizard/log/dong/meat.

4. U zagrade je stavljen deo izraza koji se može izostaviti a da se smisao bitno ne promeni: go (all) to pieces.

5. Ako sleng izraz (ili reč) ima više značenja, srodna značenja su odvojena zapetom, a razlidta tačkom i zapetom.

6. Primeri bez navodnika preuzeti su iz britanskih ili američkih rečnika slenga navedenih u Izvorn iku . Primeri pod navodnidma su iz britanskih i američkih novina, časopisa, književnih dela itd.

7. U R ečniku je (uglavnom) dato prenosno značenje reči ili iz­raza, a ne prvo i osnovno značenje (koje može da se nade u obič- nom rečniku).

8. Sleng izrazi koji se upotrebljavaju pretežno u engleskom je- ziku označeni su sa GB, a oni koji se upotrebljavaju pretežno u američkom engleskom sa US. Neoznačeni izrazi upotrebljavaju se i ujednom i u drugom govornom području.
