Chapter 32
Found this chapter on the evolution of slangs, swears and insults particularly interesting. Having not really thought much about how language changes in an area in such a short period of time.
In addition that the usage/value of words can change by class. How the word ‘bloody’ went from being working class to upper class - it makes one think what modern words have undergone a similar process.
