Authors Lewis J. Poteet and Aaron C. Poteet, father and son, also wrote Hockey talk, a dictionary of Hockey slang. This book was born out of the son's lifelong fascination with Police, crime and justice and his father's love of language. Lewis has written or co-authored numerous slang word and phrase books including Plane Talk, Car Talk, and The South Shore Phrase Book. Lewis taught English for 32 years at Concordia University in Montreal and in winter 2000, was adjunct instructor in English at Austin (TX) Community College. Aaron holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Northeastern University in Boston. As a sometime wayward youth, he walked the city streets at night as neighborhood patrol, Guardian Angel, even vigilante. His near obsession with the street led to work in the most thankless profession known to man's law enforcement (and he loved almost every minute of it!) working for the better part of a decade as a Special Police Officer in Boston and then briefly with the Austin Police Department. He now works for a large corporation in field collections. Gathered from live conversation and printed sources, this book presents the lively language of car and motorcycle fans, with entries also from car parts men, mechanics, car salesmen and ordinary drivers. Drawn from California, Canada, Texas, Boston, England, Belize, and other places it evokes the terror, the joy, the pride, the troubles that come from these Rube Goldbergish unholy alliances of fire and water, gasoline, steel, and rubber, designed to drag our bodies down the highway at unlawful speeds and get us caught in horrendous traffic jams, or travel freely in the land of the free and the home of the brave. This informative guide is definitely a must-read book for car and motorcycle enthusiasts. This will help you familiarize with the lingo-from greasy motor engines to racing cars!

Motorcycle Terminology written by Motorcycle Technical Steering Committee and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019 with categories.
The motorcycle terminology presented herein addresses two-wheel single track vehicles, as well as motorized three wheel cycles. Although two-wheeled, single track scooters and mopeds are similar to traditional motorcycles, they have many characteristics which differentiate them from motorcycles, and while some terms will apply, this Terminology addresses motorcycles specifically, unless otherwise noted. Likewise, some three wheel cycles may have some similar design features and share components with motorcycle, the dynamics and handling of three wheel vehicles differs from two wheel, single track motorcycles.The terminology presents definitions covering the following subjects: dynamics and handling of single track vehicles, motorcycle categories and types, motorcycle crash dynamics and technology, and in-depth crash investigations, motorcycle design and components, systems, and equipment, motorcycle operation, operational environments and hazards, rider protective equipment including helmets and clothing, rider behaviors, motorcycle safety, competitive motorcycle events and the specialized motorcycles used those events, key national motorcycle-related organization, selected phrases commonly used uniquely by motorcyclists, and related performance measures and selected test criteria.NOTE: Motorcycle emission terminology does not vary from automobile emission terminology and is not unique and therefore not included in this report. This Terminology is a primarily compendium of motorcycle engineering terms and phrases, and their definitions. The document was prepared to provide definitions for terms that are unique to motorcycling or, when the terms are used in reference to motorcycles, might have a definition that typically varies from general automobile industry usage. Many terms have been extracted verbatim from SAE Standards, Recommended Practices, and Information Reports, and other sources as shown.Due to the uniqueness of motorcycles and the more active role the motorcycle rider has while riding, and the various potential operating environments, this Terminology was expanded to define terms and phrases of usage, rider safety and behaviors, and other areas that provide clarity for researchers and other not familiar with motorcycling. The definition provided within this document are directed and intended to be applied to certain two- and three-wheel motorized cycles only. Four wheel vehicles may use similar terms but typically other definitions apply.The Terminology will serve a valuable function by providing a basis for improving motorcycle engineering terminology in many areas. SAE committees, and others, are encouraged to use its contents in the review of words and phrases used in their respective area, and to determine if additions or revisions might be made which could enhance comprehension and communication. This report is pertinent to such areas as vehicle design and development, the description of motorcycle, rider training and education, and the preparation of standards and regulations. Comments on specific terms and definitions can be directed to the SAE Motorcycle Technical Steering Committee.This Terminology attempts to resolve many communication issues that exist for those who must research, investigate, regulate, educate, engineer, or communicate in the world of motorcycles and their components, or motorcycling or related activities. Some issues include:As many new technologies have been applied or adapted to motorcycle in the last fifteen years, they have brought their own vocabularies. The new technologies require formal definitions. And while many older technical terms have evolve with the technology, current engineers, researchers, and others that investigate or document motorcycle statistics and data do not have a reference source for the older terminology.Some current SAE standards have terms defined in ways which are inconsistent with the same terms defined in a different standard.Within the motorcycle industry there has not been a single source for defining common terminology. As a result, regional manufacturing and development has led to multiple terms for near identical definitions.This Terminology compiles terminology from a myriad of sources into a single reference document. As language, technology and usage evolves, this Terminology will be reviewed and upgraded as necessary.

The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang offers the ultimate record of modern, post WW2 American Slang. The 25,000 entries are accompanied by citations that authenticate the words as well as offer examples of usage from popular literature, newspapers, magazines, movies, television shows, musical lyrics, and Internet user groups. Etymology, cultural context, country of origin and the date the word was first used are also provided. In terms of content, the cultural transformations since 1945 are astounding. Television, computers, drugs, music, unpopular wars, youth movements, changing racial sensitivities and attitudes towards sex and sexuality are all substantial factors that have shaped culture and language. This new edition includes over 500 new headwords collected with citations from the last five years, a period of immense change in the English language, as well as revised existing entries with new dating and citations. No term is excluded on the grounds that it might be considered offensive as a racial, ethnic, religious, sexual or any kind of slur. This dictionary contains many entries and citations that will, and should, offend. Rich, scholarly and informative, The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang and Unconventional English is an indispensable resource for language researchers, lexicographers and translators.

The work of a father and son, this lively word-book presents the slang of law enforcement officers, including prison guards, customs officers, and street cops. It includes language gathered both from working and ex-cops and from printed sources. It evokes the life of this key speech group in an America in crisis--the pride and solidarity, the shame of corruption and brutality, the horror and the excitement of life on the front of the thin blue line. It is the sixth of Lewis Poteet's slang dictionaries, the others having come out of Nova Scotia's South Shore, the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and the worlds of hockey, cars and motorcycles, and aviation. These words and definitions offer raw material for anyone interested in language and culture, and entertainment and enlightenment for anyone fascinated by the spectacle of this living busy world of law and outlaws. The main body of the book consists of words and phrases from police slang, followed by a personal account of Aaron's attraction to and formation in police work, a set of stories from Aaron's first employment in such work, an essay on Canadian, British, and American regional police cultures by Lewis, and a Poteet Cop Talk Quiz to test your knowledge of the slang.
