Product Description
Product Description
Part glossary, part dictionary, part cultural expose, part survival guide, Mingin' Or Blingin' - Essential Modern English will see you through those awkward social occasions in which you might otherwise flounder - for example, when purchasing your first car (a used XR3i) from a Walthamstow car dealer, investing in a back-of-a-lorry mobile phone from a diamond geezer down the market, or being accosted on the street with 'allow a brown?' Consider: you are challenged to 'scrap a lick'. How do you proceed? And if everything is 'gravy', should you be happy? How are you fixed for 'dead presidents'? Does even the simple 'how gwan' leave you mystified? For those whom this alien tongue confounds and confuses, you've come to the right place. Whether you consider our nation's shifting vernacular as a cause for despair or celebration, or would just like to know if the local youth sporting a baseball cap and a loud mouth was being insulting or merely complimentary, Mingin' Or Blingin' - Essential Modern English is an invaluable and fascinating read, and will place confident, inner-city conversational gambits at your very fingertips.
