Several months ago I found, on the free or very cheap rack at a used book store, Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary, published bak in '67. Lots of great words you can't find elswhere. For instance:
Jack-a-Lent
1. a small stuffed puppet set up to be pelted as a sport in Lent
2. a simple or insignificant person
Or just weird definitions:
Jack(2)
To hunt or fish at night with a jacklight
Makes you think twice about saying you are "jacked".
