expressions,the most refined individualbeing the one who uses it least.To them it is allthat which in speech is\"tabu,\"or forbidden.Others  \nregard it as the jargon of thieves,which has spread to costermongersand street-arabs,though in justice to the worthy people first men-tioned it must be admitted that many of them are so fortified intheir ignorance of what is beneath them,that they are unawarethat thieves have a lingo of their own.  \nOthers,again,believe that it is identical with the gypsy tongueor Romany,an opinion which,in spite of its easily demonstratedetymological absurdity,has held its ground for more than a century;whilst several writers,such as the author of the“Life of Bampfield(or Bampfylde)Moore Carew,\"have published so-called gypsyvocabularies,in which barely half-a-dozen words of corrupt Romanyare to be found.  \nMany,not without good excuse,find it very difficult to distinguishbetween technical terms not as yet recognised by lexicographers,and those which are,to all intents and purpose,firmly established.  \nIt is worthy of notice,letit be said en passant,that the two nationsat the head of the intellectual movement,England and France,havethe most extensive slang vocabulary,the two being about on a parin that respect.  \nNow,the dialect alluded to above was,centuries ago,almost theonly slang—and there are men so much behind the times that it is  \nthe only slang to them still.We put in the qualifying“almost”because there always have been certain conditions,such as emigra-tion to savage countries,which have bred new circumstances,with acorresponding development of language.The Roman legionaries inthe wilds of Gaul and Germany found classical Latin as inadequatefor bush vocabulary as the Anglo-Saxon finds classical English inthe backwoods of America and the backblocks of Australia,and theyevolved a Low Latin slang corresponding with such terms as\"war-paint,\"\"backwoodsman,\"\"ring-barker,\"\"bushman,\"and“throwing-stick.”Modern French has its elements of base Latin origin,justas the English lexicons of the future will include a number ofwords forged by necessity in the bush and the backwoods-in NewWorld mines and cities—and others which at the present time areonly to be found in such dictionaries as the present one.  \nBut here,in the heart as well as at the extremities of“Anglo-Saxony,\"new needs and new circumstances are being developedunceasingly,and society both high and low,in every walk of life,and on bypaths of art and trade,has of late years taken to inventingnew words and phrases,some for practical wants,others for amuse-ment,some coarse and rude,others daintily cut and polished,deftlyveiled—all in such profusion,that every one of the old definitionsof slang is now inadequate to express the“new departure”phaseof the language.  \nPerhaps the best general definition at which one can arrive isthat\"slang\"is a conventional tongue with many dialects,which areas a rule unintelligible to outsiders.In one case at least it haseen framed with the intention of its being intelligible only to theinitiated—the vagebond and thiev","cbCaihnbMTwDTyAu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihnbMTwDTyAu","pdf",32807588,560,"English","# PREFACE\n## Definitions and perceptions of slang\n## Origins: migration,
