Inhalt
Polari has been the secret language of gay men and women through the 20th century. But more than a language, Polari is an attitude. From the prisons and music halls of Edwardian England to Kenneth Williams, American GIs in London and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Polari has been used to laugh, to bitch, to gossip and to cruise. Since gay liberation, lesbian and gay slang has become less a language of concealment than a language of specialization, though the tradition of camp remains. A carefully researched and entertaining read, »Fantabulosa« presents a lexicon of Polari and a more general dictionary of lesbian and gay slang. If you always wanted to know what vada the bona cartes on the ommee ajax, parkering ninty, a Mexican nightmare or a nellyectomy mean, then this is the book for you.
