I still use Meaning of Liff words as normal, particularly 'scraptoft'. It's a great little book that ascribed meanings to place names. Which profanisaurus words are just cheeky vernacular these days? I often think about slang origins that are recent: Did Alan Partridge give us Mentalist?
On a related note, I spotted Pete Tong the other day, and mused on what it must be like to be a new slang word. csb.
