A Dictionary of Polari and Gay Slang
Paul Baker
 
Polari has been the secret language of gay men and women throughout the 20th century. But more than a language, Polari is an attitude. From the prisons and music halls of Edwardian England to Kennet Williams, American Gis in London and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Polari has been used to laugh, bitch, gossip and cruise. With it's comprehensive entries and in-depth, often graphic, etymology Fandabulosa. is an essential companion both to the closet world of the double entendre and the outrageous lexicon of contemporary gay life. Informative, humorous and shocking by turns, this dictionary makes for an eye-opening and highly addictive read.
