Summary
Here is an investigative report on the acts and anties of society over the last two decades, based on Anne H. Soukhanov's popular Word Watch? column in The Atlantic Monthly. The 365 words and phrases defined here, many appearing for the first time, are the author's informants. A sampling:
smoodge • blood culture • Stephanopouli Paula Jones Disease • drive-by hatred Kojak Liberal • kieh e food insecurity constant whitewater • Schindler defense
If people define themselves by the words they use, these and other expressions bring our national and international character into sharp focus. The words, grouped thematically in thirteen chapters, each introduced by an essay revealing their significance, show where we've been. what we've done, what we oughtn't have done, and where we're headed.
The squeegee kid grows into the squeegee man within a decade, exposing the same societal decay that gave us zero-parent children, whose opposite numbers in wealthy households often suffer affluenza, requiring the attention of specialists in adolescent medicine. The link between global and local violence is exposed by atomic mafia, Colombian syndrome, narcokleptocracy, grease-trap theory, and carjacking. Health-care problems are symbolized by the euphemistic insurance technician. And South Africa's long freedom ride can be chronicled in just four phrases: chicken run, hippo, tsotsie, and toyi-toyi, proving the point that global events can and do shape English.
Words are the footprints of history, the author believes, and they leave behind telling impressions. As we approach the end of the twentieth century, Word Watch provides a clue to much that will be said by others in another time.
