Krátky popis
Slang is the language of pop culture, low culture, street culture,
underground movements and secret societies, depending on your point
of view, it is a badge of honour, a sign of identity or a dangerous
assault on the values of polite society. Of all the vocabularies
available to us, slang is the most alive, constantly evolving and -
as it leaks into the mainstream and is taken up by all of us -
infusing the language with a healthy dose of vitality. Witty,
energetic and informative, Vulgar Tongues traces the many routes of
slang, beginning with the thieves and prostitutes of Elizabethan
London and ending with the present day (where the centuries-old
terms rap and hip-hop still survive, though their meanings have
changed). On the way, we'll meet Dr Johnson, World War Two flying
aces, pickpockets, schoolchildren, hardboiled private eyes,
carnival geeks and the many eccentric characters who have tried to
record slang throughout its chequered past. If you're curious about
flapdragons and ale passion, the changing meanings of punk and
geek, or how fly originated on the streets of eighteenth-century
London and square in Masonic lodges, this is the book for you.
