Slang from page 1 me!" to a 1992 episode of "Married ...With Children" (Fox-TV). Random House's "Historical Dictionary of American Slang" (1994, $50) is so extensive, in fact, that the first volume, at more than 1,000 pages, covers slang expressions only from A-G. (Twelve pages are devoted entirely to the "F" word and its many variations, leading the "new York Times" to dub the volume "one of the dirtiest books of the year.") The next book will be published in spring 1996, with the third to follow in 1997. Lighter believes it's important to chart the course of changes in a dynamic language, regardless of whether people approve or disap- prove. "What makes slang particularly compelling as a subject ...it that it represents linguistic innovation within a particular cultural con- text," he says. Slang in history Slang also is important historically. "Studying language historically not only answers questions such as what words were used in which era, but also deeper social issues such as when black English began to have an impact on the language, or how inducting millions of Americans into the military during the 20th century affected the way we speak," Lighter said. The dictionary details not only words such as "barf," but it's many permutations as well. To barf, as in "to vomii," dates back in first reference to thq 19407s,although it soared in popularity in the 1970's. Then there's also "barfbag," which can mean "a disgusting, worthless person"; barfer, ditto; "barf our," to revolt of disgust; "barfulous," terrible or repulsive; "barfly," nauseating; and "barf" as an interjec- tion, as in "I am disgusted!" Lighter does not shy away from the sexual and excretory words that provide many of American slang's most colorful expressions. How- ever, Lighter's dictionary also is interesting for what it does NOT contain. For instance, grunge as a music form isn't included because Lighter and his editors did not consider it to be slang. Grunge is included in the dictionary "only when it- refers to dirt," said Jesse Sheidlower, an editor who worked with Lighter on the dictionary. "Otherwise, grunge is a descriptive word for a type of 1 RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAININO CORPS I music and it's associated cultural trappings such as fashion or attitude. It's a word with an exact meaning that can be said no other way. It's the same for disco, heavy metal and rap." The dictionary also doesn't include jargon that's often used by specific professions or businesses. "Slang springs from an incredibly vast array of sources, such as crime, violence, gambling, the military, alcohol, drug use and so on," Lighter says. "Since most of these areas are largely male-dominated, it might be safely assumed that men have created much of the slang that we hear," although Lighter suggests that will change in the future as women move into previously male-dominated areas. Words that deal with sexual intercourse and drunkenness probably account, respectively as No. 1 and 2, as producing more slang synonyms than any other. Surprisingly, many expressions that people might think arose from the counterculture '60s did not.

The second try failed but the Gamecocks found hope when Shelton Deramus recovered a fumble on the JSU 41-yard line. Robinson returned with less than 20 seconds on the clock and tried a Hail Mary pass that was caught by Powell on the 6-yard line, but the time expired leaving MTSU with a narrow escape. "I have all the respect in the world for Middle Tennessee State. They're a well-coached team. It's a shame someone had to lose this one," said Burgess. The Blue Raiders are now 6-2 and will have a good chance to go to the playoffs. Jax State falls to 4-4. They go on their final road trip this Saturday to Morgan, Ill., to take on Western Illinois.
