This book is about language designed to mean what it does not seem to mean. Codes protect secrets. Symbol and magic hide meanings to imperil or delight. Languages made to confuse let insiders talk openly without being understood by others. Barry Blake looks in depth at these and many more and illuminates the most arcane and curious uses of language.
This title is about language designed to mean what it does not seem to mean. It explores the history and uses of the slangs and argots of schools and trades such as Polari and the languages of ancient cults.
