I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the history of slang

I know it may sound odd, but Chaucer and Shakespeare both wrote in forms of slang and yet they are hailed as some of the greatest english writers to ever live.

For me, I always try to remember that languages are alive and evolving at all times. They are a reflection of the culture and as time passes many slang terms are accepted as real language.

the term O.K. is a derivative of the old term... old kinderhook, a democratic warcry during the years of Van Buren. it was adopted by the Tammany Hooligans of NYC. In the 1800's they used to scream it as they beat people. to get them to stop you responded with their code...O.K.

if someone asks you... are you O.K., they are really saying, ... if you dont join me i will hurt you. eventually it digressed to just mean that help was not needed, and our common concept was born.

heres an interesting article to read as you ponder the reality that we would not ahve Chaucer and Shakespeare if their critics had gotten their way and discounted them for using imperfect english.

[SIZE=+2]History of Slang[/SIZE][SIZE=-2] by Winona Bullard[/SIZE]
Slang was the main reason for the development of prescriptive language in an attempt to slow down the rate of change in both spoken and written language. Latin and French were the only two languages that maintained the use of prescriptive language in the 14th century. It was not until the early 15th century that scholars began pushing for a standard English language.
During the Middle Ages, certain writers such as Chaucer, William Caxton, and William of Malmesbury represented the regional differences in pronunciations and dialects. The different dialects and the different pronunciations represented the first meaning for the term “slang.”
However, our present-day meaning for slang did not begin forming until the 16th or 17th century. The English Criminal Cant developed in the 16th century. The English Criminal Cant was a new kind of speech used by criminals and cheats, meaning it developed mostly in saloons and gambling houses. The English Criminal Cant was at first believed to be foreign, meaning scholars thought that it had either originated in Romania or had a relationship to French. The English Criminal Cant was slow developing. In fact, out of the four million people who spoke English, only about ten thousand spoke the English Criminal Cant. By the end of the 16th century this new style of speaking was considered to be a language “without reason or order” (Thorne 23). During the 18th century schoolmasters taught pupils to believe that the English Criminal Cant (which by this time had developed into slang) was not the correct usage of English and slang was considered to be taboo.
However, slang was beginning to be presented in popular plays. The first appearance of the slang was in a play by Richard Brome’s and later appeared in poems and songs by Copland. By the 1700’s the cultural differences in America had begun to influence the English-speaking population, and slang began to expand.
Almost all of the slang words during this time were anatomical and well known all through Britain and in America due to the British colonists. Furthermore, certain events happened in the 18th century that helped the development of slang such as, Westward expansion, the Civil War, and the abolitionist movement . By this time scholars such as Walt Whitman, W. D. Whitney, and Brander Matthews all considered slang to be anything that sounded new, and that was not in the “glossaries of British dialects” (Thorne 26). Walt Whitman consider slang to be the life of the language. Whitman wrote “that slang was a wholesome.....of common humanity to escape the form bald literalism, and express itself illimitably” (Thorne 26).
This was a turning point for slang it was starting to escape the harsh criticism of being associated with criminals or foreigners. It was not until the early 1920’s that slang had gained the interest of popular writers. It was during the post-World War I era that society gained new attitudes about slang. There was now a demand for entertainment, mass media, and slangy fiction. Today modern American slang has been shaped and reshaped by the different cultures and the emergence of technology, which has left our society with varieties of slang from extremes like Street/Drug Slang to African-American Slang.

notice... without the first official slangster, cant... modern perps would never be able to recant

all in the perspective of the individual and the openness of their mind.

Re: gay cahvs

chav speak

You know, I remember about a year ago some twit came here trying to promote some hip hop star, pretending to be all "ghetto", intentionally misspelling words, making himself look like a total poser-knob.

when you go out of your way to phonetically spell the way you mispronouce everything, it's gone past slang and gone on to being a tard.

I called the guy on it.. I think he went on about how he was in college and then said "im jus coo.. wat els u wanna no?" , and I said "I'd be interested to know how you got into college with your caveman-level linguistic skills."

Suddenly, he became the poet laureate and clamied in perfect English to have won some presidential award for writing, but that he was just trying to use... I can't remember.

Of course, I was right.. once he had promoted his Hip Hop artist, we were never heard from again.

I'm not sure what that has to do with this conversation, but there you go.

Re: gay cahvs

Arggh..can we please have this thread in English?
"to" or "too", not "2"
"you", not "u"
"for", not "4"
"think", not "fink" (it's not cute. really.)
"that", not "dat" (that's not cute either)
etc

You don't lose a lot of time typing proper words and it makes you look much more literate.

Nothing personally against the poster but netspeak/text speak makes me cringe.

They are both perfectly capable of typing correct English but choose not to, to demonstrate their attitude and individuality by linking them selves linguistically with a common perception of a social type. innit n'shit.

 

[blackbeltninja]

An honest question from way down South where we get the Beeb on satellite...

From http://www.hemyockcastle.co.uk/money.htm

Bit:
12½ cents. Possibly because an early Spanish peso coins could be divided into eight real pieces. (ie. The "Pieces of eight" beloved by pirates and buccaneers.)

Two-bit (slang):
25 cents. Cheap. Insult. "You two-bit, low down, yellow bellied ...."​

Yeah I remember that twat and his tin of spam - this form of talk has actually developed through 'texting' - i.e. sending messages from your cell phone. Since we get ripped off like 10-12 pence per text, it makes sense to condense your message as much as possible - and thus 'Chav' slang was born.

'Texting' is now actually in the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

'Texting' is now actually in the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

I can top that: the latest word in the Dutch dictionary is 'breezerslut'. Should've been spelled 'breezahslut', but hey, they're purists.

Yeah, we got them too....

 

[treanir]

Had a feeling they were international. In three years there will be a war between chavs and breezahsluts for global domination.

I'm on the chavs' side.

For those that haven't seen a chav...There's one in this video:

That's an awesome song and video by Mis-Teeq, Alesha looks fab!

This song was quite a big hit here 2 years ago.
