There is language that defines every decade. Soon, some of that language disappears if it doesn't make it into the mainstream. The language that makes it to the mainstream is usually put into the dictionary. So, it's usually the very colorful language that doesn't make it as far as the corner or neighborhood it originated.Stephen A.

It's the same thing that Zora Neale Hurston did in her writing. It's also the same thing that I do in some of my writing.Stephen A.
