He married Agnes Dora Vye-Parminter in 1925, with whom he had a daughter. He wrote novels under the pseudonym Corris Denison, and also wrote professionally on tennis, which he played to a high standard. This was eventually published as A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English in 1937, and was followed by other works on language (slang and etymology in particular). This firm closed in 1931, at which point Routledge and Kegan Paul commissioned Partridge to write a dictionary of slang. He then became Queensland Travelling Fellow at Balliol College, Oxford, and taught at Manchester and London Universities before founding his own publishing firm Scholartis in 1927. He studied French and English at the University of Queensland, during which period he also served as a private during the First World War, where his interests in the 'underside' of language originated.
