“Slang is the counter language. A jackanapes lexicon of the dispossessed. The language of the rebel, the outlaw, the despised, the marginal, the young. Above all it is the language of the city – urgent, pointed, witty, cruel, capable both of excluding and including. It’s endlessly resilient, inventive and untameable. Its age is of speech itself. If there has always been a standard, inevitably, there has always been an alternative.”
Dictionary of Slang, Jonathan Green
