GAY TALK
Call it a camp thesaurus, a homophile Baedeker, or a gay O.E.D.! Gay Talk is a passionately gathered lexicon of homosexual "slanguage," of expressions and terms that reveal much of the sexual mores, social customs, and minority attitudes of a very large portion of the gay community. Its over 12,000 entries provide pronunciation keys, derivations, etymologies, words loca- ted precisely according to region and time spoken, and thousands of examples clarify- ing shades of meaning and pinpointing nuance.
The result of years of interviews with hundreds of informants whom the author sought out in bars, steam baths. dance halls, public johns and on street cor- ners, Gay Talk is unlike any other published work on the subject of homosexuality. Like black slang, gay slang has proven to be a major creative source in our ever changing language. What gays taunt campingly today the rest of the world will use knowingle tomorrow. Thus, Gay Talk is a fascinating glimpse into an important part of conten porary America and (sometimes outragena hard-core fun.
