The Blue Brothers actor and long time star Cab Calloway in 1938 published the first dictionary by an African-American, Cab Calloway’s Cat-ologue: A “Hepster’s” Dictionary, which became the official jive language reference book of the New York Public Library.

Here’s drug reference from later:
Lid
A Prince Albert tobacco can filled to the lid. Roughly one ounce.
I never heard that until recently.
