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-am eričke sleng izraze postoje odgovarajući ekvivalenti u srpskom jeziku, a za neke se mora tražiti novi izraz. Na pri mer, 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 pojavom ovakvog rečnika kod nas bila velika, i da će korist od ovog poduhvata svakako biti značajna. "G erzićev rečnik ima niz pozitivnih 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 - jeste to što je Gerzić, kad je to bilo moguće, u objašnjenjima navodio adekvatne žargonske izraze našeg jezika. Što se tiče preciznosti R e čnika , ona verovatno ima veze i sa dobro izabranom sekundarnom literaturom koja je navedena na kraju knjige." Novinar Simo Ćirković piše: "G erzićev R e č n ik a n g lo -a m e rič k o g s le n g a Ijubitelji ovog globalnog jezika savremenog sveta doživeće kao otkriće neslućenih nijansi i srpskog i engleskog jezika. Ne bežeći 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, samostalni izdavački poduhvat pisca i prevodioca Bore Gerzića domišljato i inovativno prekriva područje za koje su bile nadležne i priredivački usmerene mnoge izdavačke kuće i filološke institucije. Uobičajeno je da se u beogradskoj kulturi, pak, sam ostalna inicijativa i istrajnost pokažu značajnijim i važnijim, uprkos što poslednjih godina vlada pravilo poražavajućeg obilaženja i nipodaštavajućeg stava prema takvim autohtonim pojavama (...) U bilo kojoj sredini Gerzićev rečnik ovog tipa i ovakve prodornosti bio bi pozdravljen kao izdavački događaj." Ksenija Janković
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 slikovito značenje samog izraza. Prema tome, ako čitalac želi da pronađe 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 e č n ik u kod slova T. AN izraz može da bude i na drugom mestu u R e čn iku , u ovom slučaju pod slovom D. U svakom slučaju, čitalac treba da bude spreman da potraži željeni izraz na više mesta u R e čn iku (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 slučajevim a 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 e č n ik u je dato: flog the lizard/log/dong/m eat. 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 Iz v o rn ik u . Primeri pod navodnidma su iz britanskih i američkih novina, časopisa, književnih dela itd. 7. U R e č n ik u je (uglavnom) dato prenosno značenje reči ili iz raza, a ne prvo i osnovno značenje (koje može da se nade u običnom rečniku). 8. Sleng izrazi koji se upotrebljavaju pretežno u engleskom jeziku označeni su sa GB, a oni koji se upotrebljavaju pretežno u am eričkom engleskom sa US. Neoznačeni izrazi upotrebljavaju se i ujednom i u drugom govornom području.
