Those words not only tell us a great deal about the people in those generations, but highlight their differences with other generations. In this entertaining compilation, Allan Metcalf, author of OK: The Improbable Story of America's Greatest Word, shows that each generation--those born within the same roughly 20-year time period--can be identified and characterized by its key words. Metcalf tells the story of the history and usage of these words, starting with the American Revolution and ending with the post-Millennial Homeland generation. With special attention to the differences in vocabulary among today's generations--the sometimes awkward Millennials, the grunge music of Generation X, hippies among the Boomers, and bobbysoxers among the Silents--From Skeddadle to Selfie compiles dozens of words we thought we knew, and tells the unheard stories of each and how they accompanied its generation through its time"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEnglish language$zUnited States$xNew words 606 $aEnglish language$zUnited States$xLexicology 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aLanguage and culture$zUnited States 606 $aEnglish language$xNew words 606 $aAmericanisms 606 $aLexicology 615 0$aEnglish language$xNew words. 615 0$aEnglish language$xLexicology. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aLanguage and culture 615 0$aEnglish language$xNew words. 615 0$aAmericanisms. 615 0$aLexicology. 676 $a427/.973 686 $aLAN009000$2bisacsh 700 $aMetcalf$b Allan A.$0764493 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816834703321 996 $aFrom skedaddle to selfie$94082394 997 $aUNINA
