Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Public School Word-Book: A Contribution to a Historical Glossary of Words Phrases and Turns of Expression Obsolete and in Present Use Peculiar to Our Great Public Schools Together With Some That Have Been or Are Modish at the Universities It has been a matter of note and, maybe, of surprise that no attempt has hitherto been made to gather in one volume the numerous Words, Phrases, and Turns of Expression peculiar to Our Great Public Schools. Bare lists of a dozen or more examples may be found in certain (mostly out-of-date) Records and Histories; but taking the Schools individually, only in one instance Winchester - has - there been anything but the most perfunctory attention given to the subject; and in no case has the question received that analytical, scientific treatment - historically and comparatively - which has proved so invaluable in the "Oxford Dictionary" and in "Slang and its Analogues." It would, however, seem almost necessary to emphasise the fact that this Word-Book is not, per se, a dictionary of school slang. On the contrary, it is far more than that. For, though such colloquialisms as are peculiar to Public School life are naturally and rightly included, yet by far the latter number of the examples here set down do not, by any accepted method of classification, fall within that category.
