Diccionario de Colombiano Actual
Francisco Celis Alb�n
Intermedio Editores, una divisi�n de C�rculo de Lectores, SA
Bogot� - 2005
ISBN: 958-352-6

195 pages

The slang is relatively "nacional" but seems to lean toward "expresiones bogotanas". (Medell�n has its own argot.) Many terms are given in context.

I find the book useful and interesting. I bought mine at a "La Nacional" bookstore in Cali. It was the only copy I found although I browsed in stores in Bogota and Medell�n. If you have a need for Colombian slang, I hope you can find a copy.
