Literature | Slang Slangs are the greaves with which the legs of convicts are fettered; hence convicts themselves; and slang is the language of convicts. Slang The difficulty of tracing the fons et origo of slang words is extremely great, as there is no law to guide one. Generally, a perversion and a pun may be looked for, as Monsengueur = toe (q.v.), Monpensier = ventre (i.e. monpanse, my paunch or belly), etc. (See Sandis,Squash, and numerous other examples in this dictionary. For rhyming slang see Chivy .). Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
Slang in 1811 | SLANG. A fetter. Double slanged; double ironed. Now double slanged into the cells for a crop he is knocked down; he is double ironed in the condemned cells, and ordered to be hanged. SLANG. Cant language. Source: 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. |
Tips from 1870 | Slang is somewhat like chicken-pox or measles, very catching, and just as inevitable in its run; and very few of us escape it. It is severest, too, where the sanitary conditions are most favorable to its development. Where there is least thought and culture to counteract its influence slang words crowd out those of a more serious character, until, in time, the young and inexperienced speaker or writer is unable to distinguish between the counterfeit and the genuine. While most persons condemn slang, there are very few who are entirely free from its use. It varies greatly in its degrees of coarseness or refinement, and adapts itself to all classes and conditions. Many know no other language, and we are unwillingly compelled to admit that while their speech is often ungrammatical and unrhetorical, it is generally clear, concise, and forcible. Strive to acquire a vocabulary so large and to cultivate a taste so fine that when a slang expression rises to your mind you can use it if you think it best fits the occasion, or substitute something better in its place. Purity of diction is a garden of slow growth even under the most favorable conditions, and the unrestrained indulgence in slang is like scattering seeds of the vilest plants among the choicest flowers.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
simple:SlangSlang is the non-standard use of words in a language and sometimes the creation of new words or importation of words from another language. Slang terms are often particular to a certain subculture - such as drug users, skaters, or musicians. Slang is sometimes confused with jargon which is the collection of vocabulary specific to a profession: medical terminology for example. "Slang" generally implies playful, informal speech. Compare colloquialism.
Slang is often used to discuss semi-taboo subjects, such as
Slang is often particular to a brief period of time, with common usage ranging from decades to only a few months. Therefore words which are widely used and understood at one time, are not imbued with the same connotations at a later time. For example, a good thing may have been "swell" in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, "groovy" in the 1960s, and "cool" in the 1970s. And although the term "cool" may still be understood today (though not widely used), the slang "swell" and "groovy" have fallen from that usage. This fluid quality is unique to slang since it is not bound by the rigid meanings and usages of more formal language. With the growth of text messaging, slang terms have even adopted commonly used spellings which do not conform to the rules of formal language; thus what a youth of the 1960s might have called groovy, a youth of 2002 might call "phat", both verbally and in text messages.

- Elimination and bodily wastes
Historical examples of slang are the "thieves' cant" used by beggars and the underworld generally in previous centuries: a number of "canting" dictionaries were published.
A famous example is Cockney rhyming slang in which, in the simplest case, word and phrases are replaced by a word or phrase that rhymes with it. Often the rhyming replacement is abbreviated further, making the expressions even more obscure, and a new rhyme may then be introduced for the abbreviation. Examples of rhyming slang are: 'apples and pears' for 'stairs' and 'trouble and strife' for 'wife.' An example of truncation and replacement of rhyming slang is bottle and glass for arse. This was reduced to bottle, for which the new rhyme Aristotle was found; Aristotle was then reduced to Aris for which plaster of Paris became the rhyme. This was then reduced to plaster.
Backwards or Back slang is a form of slang where words are reversed. English backwards slang tends to reverse words letter by letter while French backwards slang tends to reverse words by syllables. Verlan is a French slang, that uses backwards words, similar in its methods to the cockney back slang. Louchebem is French butcher's slang, similar to Pig latin.
Polari is an interesting mixture of Italian and Cockney back slang (i.e. common words pronounced as if spelled backwards e.g. 'ecaf' for face, which became 'eek' in Polari). Polari was used in London fish markets and the gay subculture in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, becoming more widely known from its use by two camp characters, Jules and Sandy, in Round the Horne, a popular radio show.
The theater profession produced rich slang, some of which has crossed into the mainstream. Success is often referred to in violent metaphors - a successful performer will "knock them (the audience) dead", a comedian who succeeds in making the audience laugh "kills" or "slays" them. A great performance "brings the house down".
There is a huge amount of hacker (computer programmer) slang; see leet and Jargon File.
