Some sources about the British gay slang of Polari:
- “How gay men used to speak - A short film in Polari”
- “A brief history of Polari: the curious after-life of the dead language for gay men”
- “Polari: The code language gay men used to survive”
- “Polari, a vibrant language born out of prejudice”
- The Polari Bible
- Glossary of Polari terms with additional readings (books, magazines, films)
My uncle, before he died, but after I came out to him, wanted me to know our history and what the gay scene in London was like in the 80s and 90s. He taught me a few sentences in Polari in case I ever needed them, and some words are just in my regular lexicon now. I thought it was very sweet that it was important to him that I understand and can recognize words that will protect me and lead me to my community. Thank you for these articles!
The Conversation article had a line that killed me instantly.
“While few gay men today actively use Polari, in recent years it has gained a kind of latent respectability as an historic language – similar to the way Latin is seen by the Catholic faith.”
I don’t know why but this word order is just hootingly funny to me. Thank you
