About this product

Product Information

jack brew (Army) making yourself a cuppa without making one for anyone else. bert (trainspotter) someone who sees trains simply as a way of getting from A to B. VIP (A&E doctor) Very Intoxicated Person. Kate Moss (golfer) a shot that's a bit thin. little brown job (twitcher) any bird that can't be wholly identified. disco rice (bin men) maggots. crotch watch (flight attendant) the seatbelt check. Have you ever wondered why football managers all speak the same way, what a cabbie calls the Houses of Parliament, or how ticket inspectors discreetly request back-up? We are surrounded by hundreds of tribes, each speaking their own distinct slanguage of colourful words, jokes and phrases, honed through years of conversations on the battlefield, in A&E, backstage, or at ten-thousand feet in the air. Here, at last, is a witty guide through the linguistic minefields that confront us all. Susie Dent has spent years interviewing hundreds of professionals, hobbyists and enthusiasts; the result is an idiosyncratic phrasebook like no other. From the Freemason's handshake to the publican's banter, DENT'S MODERN TRIBES takes us on a whirlwind tour of Britain, revealing its secret languages and finding out in the process what really makes us tick.
