Pardon me list members, Now I have got this complaint before.... If I use Chap, Bloke, mate.....dodgy or whatever... SO WHAT.......I hear every American and his/her in-laws trying, real hard, to use African American slang in a "cool" way, but I dont never send them a message saying, "why are using this term?".....

It is funny though when Americans try to use British slang in an American way. Eg, Hey bloke (Hey dude), incorrect. I guess it's a bit easier to go the other way though because American TV/Film is so widespread. There's more to slang than just an interchangeable word. It's a cultural expression. So if you try to use another culture's slang thinking it's a just a word then people will giggle when you mess it up. I recommend viewing lots of crappy English soaps to get the hang of the lingo (eg, Eastenders, Coronation Street, Brookside, etc).

i think language should be continually evolving, remixed by whoever chooses to say whatever, there are many ways to appropriate many words in new contexts that still manage to convey their meanings, and using words in new ways may often manage to imbue a phrase with an more effective descriptive purpose. if i were just slightly more daft i'd suggest that e.e. cummings had the dopest flow of the first half of the 20th century. if humans ought not be segregated, then why should words be? gregory, characteristically nonplussed (and unfinished with) about: http://jeanpaulasthma.com --- Ben Kirkley <ben.kirkley@displaypost.co.uk> wrote:

As long as you don't attempt to learn the lingo from that Mockney Guy Ritchie. Also, you should add the terms "pony" and "pants" into your list, Oh, and don't forget innit. Ummm - Music - Stars As Eyes album is quite nice. -i. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
