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.
