Originally published in 1941, this pocket-sized treasury preserves the language of diners and roadside restaurants during their golden age in the '30s and '40s. From &quote;all hot&quote; (baked potato) and &quote;dog soup&quote; (water) to &quote;perk&quote; (coffee) and &quote;first lady&quote; (spare ribs), the long-lost terms are fascinating, funny, and sometimes politically incorrect by today's standards. Historic photos from the Library of Congress add nostalgic appeal.
