"Labels for Locals" a book by Paul Dixon. This was the definitive
source for your query. Unfortunately, this book is out of print.
See this 1997 Detroit News article about the book:

Here, I found one copy of this out of print book at Barnes and Noble.

Do a search on the title "Labels for Locals"
At Bibliofind, they list one find for the book. Enter the same title
in the search box:

Here is another reference to the same book at the Merriam-Webster site:

You can find this book, but it will require some searching in the out
of print books circuits.
