First thing I would do is to check your local library for this book, Beat
Speak: An Illustrated Glossary of Beatnik Terms by Ashleigh Talbot.
Alternatively, you can order it from Jack Diamond at this URL:

I thought that there was a good glossary type listing on the web at one
time, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.
