The American urban scene, and in particular New York's, has given us a rich cultural legacy of slang words and phrases, a bonanza of popular speech. Hot dog, rush hour, butter-and-egg man, gold digger, shyster, buttinsky, smart aleck, sidewalk superintendent, yellow journalism, breadline, straphanger, tar beach, the Tenderloin, the Great White Way, to do a Brodie--these are just a few of the hundreds of popular words and phrases that were born or took on new meaning in the streets of New York. In The City in Slang, Irving Lewis Allen traces this flowering of popular expressions that accompanied the emergence of the New York metropolis from the early nineteenth century down to the present. This unique account of the cultural and social history of America's greatest city provides in effect a lexicon of popular speech about city life. With many stories Allen shows how this vocabulary arose from city streets, often interplaying with vaudeville, radio, movies, comics, and the popular songs of Tin Pan Alley. Some terms of great pertinence to city people today have unexpectedly old pedigrees. Rush hour was coined by 1890, for instance, and rubberneck dates to the late 1890s and became popular in New York to describe the busloads of tourists who craned their necks to see the tall buildings and the sights of the Bowery and Chinatown. The Big Apple itself (since 1971 the official nickname of New York) appeared in the 1920s, though first in reference to the city's top racetracks and to Broadway bookings as pinnacles of professional endeavor. Allen also tells fascinating stories behind once-popular slang that is no longer in use. Spielers, for example, were the little girls in tenement districts who danced ecstatically on the sidewalks to the music of the hurdy-gurdy men and, when they were old enough, frequented the dance halls of the Lower East Side. Following the trail of these words and phrases into the city's East Side, West Side, and all around the town, from Harlem to Wall Street, and into the haunts of its high and low life, The City in Slang is a fascinating look at the rich cultural heritage of language about city life.

Global English Slang brings together nineteen key international experts and provides a timely and essential overview of English slang around the world today. The book illustrates the application of a range of different methodologies to the study of slang and demonstrates the interconnection between the different sub-fields of linguistics. A key argument throughout is that slang is a function played by specific words or phrases rather than a characteristic inherent in the words themselves- what is slang in one context is not slang in another. The volume also challenges received wisdom on the nature of slang: that it is short-lived and that slang is restricted to verbal language. With an introduction by editor Julie Coleman, the topics covered range from Inner City New York slang and Hip Hop Slang to UK student slang and slang in Scotland. Authors also explore slang in Jamaica, Australia, New Zealand, India and Hong Kong and the influence of English slang on Norwegian, Italian and Japanese. A final section looks at slang and new media including online slang usage, and the possibilities offered by the internet to document verbal and gestural slang. Global English Slang is an essential reference for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers working in the areas of lexicology, slang and World Englishes.

"For six intense years, Sonic's Rendezvous lit up the Detroit rock scene, after the demise of its flagship bands, the MC5, the Rationals, and the Stooges, among many others. Follow the narrator, Taper Tom, and author Chairman Ralph, as they retrace the ups and downs of Fred 'Sonic' Smith's post-MC5 musical adventures, in comic form! It's all here, from the group's formation in 1974, to the creation of its best-known song, the Detroit rock anthem, 'City Slang,' the summer '78 Eurostrike Tour with Iggy Pop, the group's breakup in 1980, and its last hurrah -- coming, appropriately enough, in Ann Arbor! You'll hear from the principals themselves -- Fred (lead guitar, vocals), Scott Morgan (vocals, rhythm guitar), Gary Rasmussen (bass), and the late Rock Action, Scott Asheton (drums) -- as well as the colorful local characters they meet along the way, including Cover Band Carl, Metal Mike, and Second Chance Sammy. Forty-five years after its release, that seminal single, 'City Slang,' and the band that recorded it, remain the object of vivid rumor, speculation and street talk, as larger than life now, as they were back then. Now you can revisit those days, and that era, thanks to this DIY comic book release! (70 pages, black & white, w/spot color).--Author's description.
