Recommendation request: slang/colloquialism thesaurus reference

Hi fellow writers! I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a thorough, even exhaustive, reference on synonymous or related turns-of-phrase.

For example, I need to convey the thought "nearby" but I want to say something more like "right around the corner" and I need more options.

Urban thesaurus/dictionary is usually pretty disappointing since 50% of the content is simply invented and not widely used.

Anyone have any leads on something published in the past 10 years?
