Welcome to Georgia — where language is as rich as the culture, as warm as the hospitality, and sometimes as confusing as a back-road detour with no GPS.

The Georgia Slang Dictionary is your complete guide to the words, phrases, and expressions that Georgians actually use every day. From front-porch sayings and small-town wisdom to city slang, football talk, and modern Southern expressions, this book captures the real voice of the Peach State from A to Z.
Inside, you’ll find:
