"Crime, money, drink, drugs, racist and nationalist slurs, insults,
men (self-aggrandizing), women (feared and seemingly loathed), the
unattractive, the stupid, the mad. The body, its parts, and what we do
with them: sex, violence, defecation, bodily fluids. No abstracts, no
caring, sharing nor compassion. One must be accurate: sexual
intercourse is just that and you offer that definition 1500 times.
Same for the rest. Twenty-four hundred fools, thirteen hundred
penises, eleven hundred whores, a thousand policemen, and on it goes.
A narrow waterfront, but with its endless re-invention, a very deep
one. Slang as a word is hard to define, but it is above all a lexis of
synonymy."
