Join the new world

First a quote from one of the foremost Americans of all time; Thomas Jefferson: “He who receives an idea from me, receives instructions himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive approbation.”

Interesting what passes for knowledge and the pursuit of such, I researched slang and offer this. With a take on flattery and nonesuch (or modern nonsense) and hope to provide some entertainment.

Gen. Slangenberg from Wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Slangenburg (no mention of the word he spawned)

Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama:::: (Published by Selmar Hess 1892)

Slang; from Slangenberg, a Dutch general, noted for his abusive and exaggerated epithets when he reproved the men under his command. The etymon is suited to this dictionary.

Dictionary of Word Origins (Published Philosophical Library, Inc. 1945)

Slang. This word, from Dutch slang, snake, was used in the early 19th century, to mean chain, fetters. Thence applied to the criminals, it was further transferred to their talk, slang. Unfortunately for this devious explanation, the word was used to refer to language before it was used to mean chains!

A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles

Slang.
1. The special vocabulary used by any set of persons of low or disreputable character; language of low and vulgar type.
b. The special vocabulary or phraseology of a particular calling or profession; the cant or jargon of a certain class or period.
c. Language of a highly colloquial type, considered as below the level of standard educated speech, and consisting either of new words or of current words employed in some special sense.
d. Abuse, impertinence

So the confusing thing is, on the forums the “bros” like using different divertive of the “N” word. Is it flattery, I ask because they (bros of the eUS forums)) derided the very people whose language they are stealing. To pay homage by using the slang created out of social unjust and then to mock those who still face said social unjust, what is their message (what promise the internet affords thieves and cowards)?

Thank you for reading and please consider voting peace for party president.
