One characteristic of small, inwardly facing communities is a fast pace of change in slang. I spent a year on the periphery of the gay community in LA, then went back once a year or so for the next five years. During that time the word `nelly' moved from being applied to a passive male in a homosexual pair to a passive female in a pair, the word `diesel' was replaced by `butch', and `chicken' went from being an underage boy to a pseudo oh-I've-never-done-this-before adult male. I'd be willing to be there are regionalisms, too. -- It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities, without hour help. -- Chuck Pyle 'The Zen Cowboy' http://www.chuckpyle.com/bio.html
