"This is a parade pause," cried he, "which does one good; it gives such an elegance to misfortune! Another day I will do the same: I will sit in my library, in my nightcap and powdering gown, and give as much trouble as I can; -- or, perhaps, I may defer it, till Kitty runs away."

i feel like just reading the polari dictionary is giving me so much information about the time and the culture of its collection and use. like specifically, the amount of terms for certain things and the lack of terms for others, and the variety of specific words.
it's impossible to make conclusions without further context - are these remembered for a specific reason, what's regional, how were these collected? by whom, when?
but it's fascinating how much a snapshot of language can still reveal.

There's a guy downstairs sanding down my parquet floor who has a logo on his van proudly proclaiming that he's a "Certified Bona Contractor".
I'm sure fans of Polari will find that reassuring.
He seems to be doing a pretty bona job so far, at any rate.

I was today years old when I learned that #ACDC means #bisexual in #Polari.
And just a few days before that I learned that the movie “Inauguration of the pleasure dome” used #GlagoliticMass by #Czech composer #LeošJanáček as soundtrack, which is extremely interesting for me due to family stories that are connected to all of this in a way.
And - by the way - there’s a beer named #TarasBoulba.This was a great weekend.

What a shame, on the other hand, that @paulbaker had his Mastodon account on the now defunct mastodon.lol server and no longer seems to have an account in the Fediverse. I'm very much looking forward to meeting him: he's famous among corpus linguists for his corpus-linguistic work, of course, but he has also done fascinating work on #Polari, a secret language/slang used by gay men in Britain into the 1970s. 1/2
