The Best of its kind

it is exactly what the title denotes and , what's more important, surely the best around (Believe me I have really searched). Everything that you need to know is here and tons more. Most of the times an 'entry' is accompanied by not one but TWO different examples so that the meaning be clear. The only thing I would have also liked to see would be description of the slang terms using the phonetic alphabet so that one gets the correct pronunciation as well -only for the equivocal slang words really.
