Download or read book Vietnam War Slang written by Tom Dalzell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, the US marks the 50th anniversary of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, the basis for the Johnson administration’s escalation of American military involvement in Southeast Asia and war against North Vietnam. Vietnam War Slang outlines the context behind the slang used by members of the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam War. Troops facing and inflicting death display a high degree of linguistic creativity. Vietnam was the last American war fought by an army with conscripts, and their involuntary participation in the war added a dimension to the language. War has always been an incubator for slang; it is brutal, and brutality demands a vocabulary to describe what we don’t encounter in peacetime civilian life. Furthermore, such language serves to create an intense bond between comrades in the armed forces, helping them to support the heavy burdens of war. The troops in Vietnam faced the usual demands of war, as well as several that were unique to Vietnam – a murky political basis for the war, widespread corruption in the ruling government, untraditional guerilla warfare, an unpredictable civilian population in Vietnam, and a growing lack of popular support for the war back in the US. For all these reasons, the language of those who fought in Vietnam was a vivid reflection of life in wartime. Vietnam War Slang lays out the definitive record of the lexicon of Americans who fought in the Vietnam War. Assuming no prior knowledge, it presents around 2000 headwords, with each entry divided into sections giving parts of speech, definitions, glosses, the countries of origin, dates of earliest known citations, and citations. It will be an essential resource for Vietnam veterans and their families, students and readers of history, and anyone interested in the principles underpinning the development of slang.

This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 5135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: "An entertaining yet sobering description of the life and challenges of a female sportswriter, with insights into the Oakland Athletics and other professional teams. Recommended for most collections." -- Library Journal "Witty, insightful, articulate. If you have a daughter, let her read it. If you have a son, make him read it." -- Tacoma News Tribune Now in development for the silver screen with CBS Films! In the wee hours of the morning after sportswriter Susan Fornoff had received a gift-wrapped rat from Oakland A's slugger Dave Kingman, the phone in her hotel room rang. It was one of Kingman's teammates, calling to say, "Baseball is a fraternity, a fraternity of men. And you will never understand that or be a part of that because you are a woman." Kingman and friend might have been speaking for baseball management, male sportswriters and sports editors, and their teammates, for all of the daily sexism and frequent harassment Fornoff encountered on the beat. But it wasn't always difficult to be a woman in the quintessential men's world of professional sports -- sometimes it was fun. These handsome, rich, young men -- including Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson, Dennis Eckersley and Rickey Henderson, plus famed sluggers Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire -- often talked to Fornoff in a way they didn't talk to other writers, simply because she was a woman. Their insights gave her inside knowledge of the Oakland A's and an understanding of the baseball lifestyle that is uniquely personal. Fornoff, a pretty blonde then in her late 20s and early 30s, danced with manager Tony La Russa, sunbathed on pitcher Dave Stewart's yacht, drank woo-woos with players at a favorite Chicago watering hole. She tells what a female reporter really "sees" inside the locker room, what she learned traveling with a team, and, especially, how to become accepted as one of the guys without ever becoming one. Part memoir and part expose, this update on the original 1993 manuscript contains history and insight into the early days of women sports journalists making their way into men's locker rooms.
