Geheimsprachen sind bereits seit der Antike bekannt. Unter Geheimsprachen versteht man ganz verschiedene Sprachformen: Gruppensprachen, die von Aussenstehenden kaum verstanden werden, aber auch sprachliche Verschlüsselungsstrategien. Wir sprechen heute über Geheimsprachen. Das sind nicht Sprachen wie Deutsch, Französisch oder Chinesisch, sondern Formen und Abwandlungen davon, welche versuchen, gewisse Menschen von der Kommunikation auszuschliessen. Und zwar durch die Verwendung von Wörtern aus anderen Sprachen, durch Wortcodes oder durch die Abänderung von Wörtern, etwa indem Buchstaben ersetzt oder erweitert oder indem Silben verschoben werden. Prominent unter den Geheimsprachen ist «Grüfnisch». Dies ist eine sogenannte Spielsprache, wie auch die B-Sprache, Leffisch oder die Feckersprache. Vokale werden durch längere Einschübe ersetzt, so dass am Ende eine Gebehebeimsprabachebe entsteht. Während es bei den Spielsprachen häufig um Gruppenidentität und Sprachkreativität geht, gibt es auch Geheimsprachen, welche diskriminierten Minderheiten die Möglichkeit gaben, untereinander zu kommunizieren, zum Beispiel Rotwelsch oder Polari. Und während des 2. Weltkrieges und im Kalten Krieg wurde sogar Rätoromanisch als Geheimsprache benutzt.

Le Polari est un argot codé utilisé principalement par la communauté homosexuelle britannique au cours de la première moitié du XXe siècle, à une époque où l'homosexualité était non seulement taboue, mais aussi illégale au Royaume-Uni. Ce langage a permis à des générations d'hommes gays (et dans une moindre mesure de lesbiennes, de drag queens ou d'artistes de cabaret) de communiquer entre eux en toute discrétion, de se reconnaître dans l'espace public, et parfois même de se protéger.Origines du PolariLe Polari n'est pas né de nulle part. Il s'agit d'un mélange linguistique, un patchwork issu de plusieurs sources :L'italien (notamment le vénitien), via le théâtre de rue et les marins ;Le romani, la langue des gens du voyage ;Le Cockney rhyming slang, argot populaire de Londres ;Des éléments de français, de yiddish et de backslang (mots prononcés à l'envers).Ce langage était déjà utilisé dans les milieux du spectacle itinérant, du cirque, des marchés forains, et surtout dans les théâtres, où se mêlaient artistes marginaux, travestis et homosexuels. Au fil du temps, il devient un code de reconnaissance pour la communauté gay urbaine, surtout à Londres, Manchester ou Brighton.Pourquoi un argot secret ?Jusqu'à la décriminalisation partielle de l'homosexualité en 1967 en Angleterre et au Pays de Galles, les homosexuels risquaient l'arrestation, l'emprisonnement, le chantage ou la violence. Le Polari permettait de flirter, plaisanter ou s'alerter discrètement sans éveiller les soupçons de la police ou des passants.Exemple typique :“Bona to vada your dolly old eek!” signifie “Ravi de voir ta jolie tête !”(Bona = bon, vada = voir, dolly = joli, eek = visage, de “ecaf” = “face” à l'envers)Déclin et résurgenceAprès la légalisation partielle de l'homosexualité en 1967, le besoin de secret a diminué. Le Polari a peu à peu disparu, considéré parfois comme désuet ou stigmatisant par les jeunes générations gay en quête de reconnaissance sociale et d'intégration.Cependant, le Polari a connu une renaissance culturelle. Des linguistes, artistes et activistes LGBTQ+ y voient un patrimoine queer précieux, témoin de la résistance et de la créativité face à l'oppression. Il est aujourd'hui étudié dans les universités et célébré dans certaines œuvres artistiques.Un langage de survie devenu symboleLe Polari n'était pas qu'un jeu de mots ou un code : c'était un outil de survie, un espace linguistique sûr, une manière d'exister dans un monde hostile. Il symbolise aujourd'hui l'ingéniosité et la solidarité d'une communauté qui, même dans la marginalité, n'a jamais cessé de s'exprimer avec humour, style… et fierté. Hébergé par Acast.

John is joined by Olly Alexander and producer Danny L Harle, to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced ‘Polari' Olly Alexander is an English singer, actor, and LGBTQ+ activist, best known as the frontman of Years & Years. The band found global success in the mid 2010's with the hit ‘King' and released two UK #1 albums before Olly transitioned to a solo career.

Musician Olly Alexander was born in Harrogate, and discovered a love of acting at school, where tread the boards in Guys and Dolls and the bug had bitten. His role as Ritchie in Russel T Davies' acclaimed Channel 4 drama It's a Sin, bringing to life the horrors of HIV/Aids in the Gay community in the 1980's, brought him serious attention and plaudits, earning him a Bafta TV nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category amongst others. But it was as a musician where he originally made his mark as the vocalist for the band Years and Years, reaching number one in the UK album charts twice, and releasing a series of super catchy singles that made series dents in the mainstream charts. He went solo in 2024 in a big way by representing the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest last year and his debut solo album is Polari, recently released to rave reviews.

CLUBAST 093 comes in heavy with a mix from some of my favorite producer/djs in Philly, @zillasonacid They delivered that perfect Zillas sound that I can only describe as Basement House & Rolling Sleazy Techno. Since the 2019 release of their EPs Black Cat (Optimo Music) and She Takes NRG (Ivan Smagghe's Les Disques de la Mort), the Zillas have been busy building a steady catalog of music for labels like Polari, Nocturne, Dischi Autunno, Inside Out, Multi Culti, Throne of Blood, Microdosing, and more. Along the way, they've garnered support from futuristic fellow travelers like Roman Flügel, Dixon, Jennifer Cardini, Justin Strauss, Bradley Zero, Sean Johnston, and many others. Deep in the studio or out in the club, the Zillas mix slow-motion death disco, dubbed-out drum machine music, and of course ACID to excite party people from all planets. As always you can stream all the mixes on the iTunes Podcast app or Player.FM https://www.CLUBBYBOY.com

There should be no shame in being who you are. Musician and actor Olly Alexander has felt first hand how grappling with your identity can lead to poor mental health. In this chat with Fearne, Olly explains why he feels there's such a high level of mental distress in the queer community, and how acting in It's A Sin helped him unpack his own lived experience. Both Fearne and Olly share their experiences of poor body image, wondering if bulimia felt like a helpful tool to regain control in an intimidating world. How can you go from disliking your body to recognising the brilliant things it can do for you? Plus, how to let yourself off the hook when you've messed up at work or in a social situation, and what to do when you don't feel you've ‘achieved' enough to be of value... Olly's solo album, Polari, is out in February. CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains frank chat about suicide, self-harm, and bulimia, so take care while listening.

"Alex Polari on Brasiilia legaalse ayahuasca kiriku Santo Daime üks juhtivaid inimesi. Raamat ["Metsa teejuht", H.P.] kajastab Polari enda ja Santo Daime arengulugu alates 1970-ndatest aastatest. See on kaine meelega kirjutatud teos. Polari ise on pärit Brasiilia lõunaosast, mille kultuur meenutab Lõuna-Euroopat, mitte Amasooniat.

The lads just witnessed a load of girlies in Cork en route to see Becky Hill and they were all done up to the nines and this prompts a discussion about the girlies from Little Mix and why they can't seem to get their solo careers to take off. The theme for the week is languages and Kevin is delighted with life as he thinks etymology is very interesting but PJ thinks it's snooze. They also discuss the origins of Polari, the language used by the gays in an effort to keep their lives a secret but also to reveal themselves to other friends of Dorothy.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 11, 2024 is: zhuzh • ZHUZH (the U is as in PUSH) • verb To zhuzh something up is to improve its flavor or appearance by way of a small improvement, adjustment, or addition. // He likes to zhuzh up his outfits with brightly-colored ties. See the entry > Examples: “Ever since my sister introduced me to this life-changing condiment, I've slathered [chili crisp] on pretty much everything I could think of—from roasted vegetables and noodles to seafood and popcorn. … That deep savory flavor comes from ingredients like fermented black bean, shallots, mushroom powder, ginger, and seaweed, so it's no wonder it's become my go-to pantry staple when I want to zhuzh up my dinner in a matter of seconds.” — Britt Ross, quoted on BuzzFeed, 17 Feb. 2024 Did you know? Zhuzh (alternatively spelled zhoosh) has an onomatopoetic ring to it: it resembles other sound-effect words, such as whoosh or zoom, that suggest dynamic movement, or perhaps more appropriately, a ruffling of hair or fabric. The earliest evidence of zhuzh shows that it is part of Polari, a kind of slang known especially for its use in 20th century British gay culture. The word has been in use since at least the 1970s, and gained wild popularity during the 2018 reboot of Queer Eye, a television series in which a fellow needing help in the areas of fashion, grooming, living space, food, and social grace gets a makeover courtesy of five talented gay men. While often used as a verb (usually paired with up), zhuzh is also a noun that refers to a small improvement or adjustment, as in “my hair just needs a quick zhuzh and I'll be ready to go.”

In questa puntata di Alice viaggeremo attraverso alcuni grandi capolavori della letteratura guidati da Guendalina Middei che nel suo libro Innamorarsi di Anna Karenina il sabato sera restituisce quelle voci classiche che come stelle polari ancora oggi, nella nostra strana esistenza, ci indicano la rotta. Entrato nella dozzina del Premio Strega, la giovanissima Sonia Aggio ci racconta invece Nella stanza dell'imperatore, il suo romanzo storico uscito per Fazi in cui con passione disegna una trama ricca di intrecci, intrighi, amori e terribili inganni tra le scintillanti stanze dei palazzi imperiali e i loro splendidi giardini, mostrandoci il volto segreto delle città d'Oriente. Dalla letteratura, alla storia, all'attualità, con Sara Marzullo, traduttrice e giornalista culturale, parleremo invece di ragazze tristi e della precarizzazione dell'identità.

Given the lack of a clear origin, it is impossible to tell if the verb has priority over the noun or vice versa.Jai Rodriguez was the original Culture Vulture for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

In 2015, Charles Wright gave an interview with the Yale News in which he said that writing is "very difficult now, because I've probably written all the things I could possibly have to say at least five times, in five different directions. I don't want to do it now." He also talks about it in this interview with Image.Read the poem of Charles Simic's that we discuss in the episode: "My Shoes." You can also read the poem Aaron references: "Fork."Read W.S. Merwin's poem "Language."

This edition of the verb is a celebration of the physical - everything from mountain climbing, human desire, a mother's touch or the act of writing. The poet Helen Mort writes in her head, while running, climbing and she even wrote one whilst in labour. She tells Ian about her new collection The Illustrated Woman - inspired by what she calls a "pain epiphany" while being tattooed - and how her poems "spookily" prefigure her life. The Norfolk born writer Jon Ransom wrote The Whale Tattoo, which won the Polari first book award, on his phone on the bus. His new novel The Gallopers opens in the aftermath of the 1953 North Sea flood where 19-year-old Eli yearns for Jimmy Smart, the handsome older fairground worker his aunt has taken in. And award-winning poet Victoria Kennefick has written on the back of her child's drawings and on shop receipts when an idea urgently strikes. She tells Ian McMillan about her collection Egg/Shell, inspired by a lockdown encounter with a swan whose eggs wouldn't hatch. Produced in Salford by Olive Clancy.

Geoff Deane is most recently known as the screenwriter of Kinky Boots, but his career swerves have encompassed founding the punk band Leyton Buzzards and salsa band Modern Romance. He has been a writer and producer for television, a journalist, restaurant critic and songwriter but it is his observations and appreciation for the joyful cast of characters he has met along the way that colours From Mohair Suits to Kinky Boots: How Music, Clothes and Going Out Shaped My Life and Upset My Mother.  A master raconteur, Geoff's tales of his Hackney origins to Hollywood hijinks are littered with Cockney rhyming slang, Yiddish and Polari.  @Radio_Gorgeous @Freed_Donna @MuswellPress

It's a credit to the resilience of the gay community that when society tried to outlaw and silence them, they just created a language of their own to keep conversation (and gossip) alive. The language, polari, was born out of prejudice, and while it's now classified as endangered, many of its words are still used by us today.What were its many origins? When was it at its peak? And why did some of the gay community eventually start to turn its back on it?Kate's joined by Paul Baker, author of Fabulosa!: The Story of Polari, Britain's Secret Gay Language, to find out more.This episode was edited by Tom Delargy, and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

Jordan's schedule includes stops in New York, Tokyo, Ibiza and London, but his reputation has been built on almost two decades of relentless work closer to home. As resident and promoter at Belfast's weekly party, The Night Institute, and before that as a curator of the city's not-quite-legal,late-night parties, Jordan has played many roles within his local scene, alongside countless hours behind the decks. This has afforded him a legitimacy that is becoming a rarity in the electronic music community, placing him at odds with the common thirst for overnight success stories. "I've crammed in some of the energy of my Summer into this hour. The first half is a slower tempo, inspired by my debut at Pikes and the early part of the night at our parties at The Hack Club in Belfast. The second half, I take things in a more energetic direction with highlights from my Fabric set earlier in July, as well as some previews of my forthcoming releases on Permanent Vacation and Polari." Jordan Nocturne's ‘Musique' EP is out on Permanent Vacation on 29th September. His remix of Django Django 'Slip Stream' is out now.

In light of the release of the live action The Little Mermaid and in support of Pride Month, in this episode we're talking about Doctor Octopus's drag persona, Ursula. Just kidding, but she IS purported to be based on a drag queen. Is it a fun cool drag queen that we should all celebrate? Well... At least Divine had lots of pride about being a drag queen. Oh? He didn't at all? Well . . . huh. Anyways, we discuss the mysterious origins of this word "drag". We discuss Polari, the secret language of carnies, thieves, and homosexuals.

This is the second half of my recent conversation with author Deborah Phillips whose fascinating new book is titled AND THIS IS MY FRIEND SANDY — SANDY WILSON'S THE BOY FRIEND, LONDON THEATRE AND GAY CULTURE. If you missed the previous episode you may want to catch up with that before listening to this one. The Boyfriend is one of the most popular and successful British musicals of all time. On the previous episode Deborah Phillips shared with us how its creator Sandy Wilson grew up as a musical theater obsessed kid whose idols were Noel Coward, Ivor Novello, and Binky Beaumont — the three dynamic gay theater artists who dominated London's West End in the 1930s and 40s. She also described London's vibrant but clandestine gay theatrical subculture of the early 1950s out of which Sandy Wilson and The Boyfriend emerged. And we even heard a bit about the secret gay language of chorus boys and sailors called “Polari,” and the hilarious BBC radio series, Round The Horne, that introduced Polari to millions of listeners in the mid-1960s, even though most of those listeners had no idea what is was, or understood its connections to gay culture. All of that was, of course, happening at a time when you could be sent to prison for being homosexual. Deborah and I pick up our conversation just as Sandy Wilson is about to launch the first production of The Boyfriend at the private theater club, The Players Theatre, where it became a major hit and quickly moved to the West End.   We then go on to discuss London's other major hit musical of 1952, Julian Slade's SALAD DAYS. Those two shows — both set in the 1920s — created nearly as much excitement as Queen Elizabeth's coronation that same year. In this episode you will hear a clip from Round the Horne featuring two very camp characters named “Julian & Sandy” (inspired by the two songwriters) who pepper their dialogue with Polari words and phrases, and whose catch phrase inspired the title of Deborah Phillip's book. That original West End production of The Boyfriend ran for five years. Meanwhile, an American production opened on Broadway in 1954 and became a major hit in spite of Wilson's objections to how it was redirected for Broadway. 18 years later, in 1972, a film version of The Boyfriend was released, directed by Ken Russell, that Wilson loathed. Wilson went on to create several highly anticipated subsequent musicals including The Buccaneer, Valmouth, and the sequel to The Boyfriend — Divorce Me Darling. None of them, however, were able to achieve the same kind acclaim and popularity as The Boyfriend. Phillips also shares some fascinating stories of several other high-profile projects that got away from Sandy Wilson and went on to legendary success with other songwriters.  Become A PATRON of Broadway Nation!

My guest this week is author Deborah Phillips whose new book is titled: AND THIS IS MY FRIEND SANDY — SANDY WILSON'S THE BOY FRIEND, LONDON THEATRE AND GAY CULTURE. Sandy Wilson's The Boyfriend — for which he wrote the book, music, & lyrics — is one of the most successful British musicals of all time. It emerged in 1952 out of London's secretive but vibrant gay theatrical subculture, at a time when you could be sent to prison for being homosexual.  By the following year both The Boyfriend and Sandy Wilson were the toast of London's West End, and created nearly as much excitement as Queen Elizabeth's coronation that same year. That original West End production ran for five years. Meanwhile, a hit American version of The Boyfriend opened on Broadway in 1954 and made a star out of Julie Andrews. The show was revived on Broadway in 1970 and made a star of Sandy Duncan, and two years later an ill-conceived film version was released, starring Twiggy and Tommy Tune and directed by Ken Russell. Despite all of this, prior to this book, very little has been written about Sandy Wilson. Deborah Phillips, who is Professor of Literature and Cultural History at the University of Brighton, is the first researcher to delve into Wilson's extensive archives out of which she has created an captivating portrait of Wilson as a both a key figure in post-war British theatre and the era's gay culture. This book and interview introduced me to a number of fascinating subjects I had never encountered before including the hilarious BBC radio series, Round The Horne, that inspired the book's title; the history of London's Players Theatre; and the secret gay language, Polari. Exploring all that sent me into several amazing internet rabbit holes and I will be posting articles and video clips that I found there in the Broadway Nation FaceBook Group.

So, one of the things about drag that i'm really fascinated by is the decision-making process behind crafting a drag character... Because, to me, deciding on who your drag character is - what they like, how they talk, how they present to the world - is a big commitment... almost like a marriage maybe? And, by that I mean you are committing to another person (or, ok, character) that will forever be associated with you. Because of this you've kind of got to make sure you think it through.... But, then, I guess, you run the risk of OVERTHINKING it (my signature move!).... To find out a little more about this I sat down to pick the brains of Ty Jeffries, the man behind the drag character Miss Hope Springs (an old-school, glamourous chanteuse).... We got together to talk about Madame JoJos, a legendary nightclub in London's Soho that closed in 2014 after being open continuously since the 60s... So, of course we talk all about the gentrification of Soho, the evolution of drag, and... what it's like to be a horny teenager on the train... Oh, and I should also say that there is a mention of Polari in this conversation, which is a slang language used by predominately gay men in the UK up until about the 60s when it started to fall out of favour... Do you have any memories of Madame JoJo's, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to!

While Katherine and Brian finish up their winter break/work, we're re-releasing the final episode from series 1 of ATWI80G - our chat with the incredible, Mr. Pussy. Mr. Pussy a.k.a Alan Amsby, first came to Ireland in 1969 with the plan to stay for one week but over 50 years later, he's still here. Since then he has blazed a trail across the drag scene in Ireland, written a book, been on The Late Late Show, performed for Prince and Ronan Keating at The Pod and is fluent in Polari. What a life! We loved recording this episode and learned so much. Mr. Pussy even schools us on where drag stared and it blew our ignorant minds. See you soon for the rest of series 2 and some brand new guests.

The repeated acts that encode gender are like a script, and that script gets copied and passed around, but there is no original script. “In other words,” Butler writes, “the naturalistic effects of heterosexualized genders are produced through imitative strategies; what they imitate is a phantasmatic ideal of heterosexual identity, one that is produced by the imitation as its effect.” You can read the whole (short) essay here.

My guest this week is Professor Paul Baker, a writer and linguist whose work includes some FASCINATING explorations of Polari, the secret 19-century queer language that existed in England a century ago. He's also delved deep into the history of British don't-say-gay laws, gay seafarers, and in an upcoming book about campy queer culture. Given his expertise in campy sitcoms, drag stars, and celebrated actresses, I have a feeling that he speaks a language in which listeners of this podcast will be particularly fluent.We'll have that conversation in a minute. First, a reminder that I've got a book coming out next year about queer sitcoms! It's called Hi Honey, I'm Homo, and pre-orders are open — head over to gaysitcoms.com to get all the details.Also, big thanks to everyone who supports The Sewers of Paris on Patreon! Patrons get hours of exclusive bonus videos about pop culture history, stickers and stuff in the mail, and shoutouts in YouTube videos.

We look into the crossover between the fields of linguistics, social history and folklore with an examination of the secret language Polari. Coming from 16th century roots, Polari is generally known in modern times as an underground gay language popular in the 1960s and 1970s, in no small part thanks to the Radio 4 comedy show Round the Horne and its characters Julian and Sandy. But, before this, other forms of the language existed between fairground workers, the theatrical community, dock workers and more.After a brief history of the development of Polari and a look at the film 'Putting on the Dish' which may have helped with the modern interest in Polari, we are joined by Prof. Paul Baker from Lancaster University, author of the book 'Fabulosa!'. He speaks with Dr Paul Cowdell of the Folklore Society on the topic.To watch the film 'Putting on the Dish', visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8yEH8TZUskFor more on Polari from Paul Baker's web pages, visit https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/staff/bakerjp/polari/home.htmTo support the Folklore Podcast and the Folklore Library and Archive in its mission to preserve and make freely available folklore materials for the future, please visit www.patreon.com/thefolklorepodcast

Hello babies! If it seems like we are slowly transitioning into an animal update podcast, you should know that this has always been an animal update podcast. On today's episode, Emily gives us some caterpillar news, and Lisa shares some post-horsepital Juni info. On Chunch Chat, Martha says goodbye to some very expensive and funky friends. On Wiki of the Week, we read the Wikipedia page for Polari, "a form of slang or cant used in Britain and Ireland by some actors, circus and fairground showmen, professional wrestlers, merchant navy sailors, criminals, sex workers, and the gay subculture."

This week we are joined by the fascinating Paul Baker (he/him). Paul is Professor of English Language at Lancaster University. He has written 22 books on language, sexuality and social history - covering topics that include Section 28, Polari, gay men in the merchant navy, and newspaper coverage of LGBTQ+ people. In this conversation we talk about the importance of connecting with older generations of LGBTQ+ people, to learn our history, and the lessons we can learn from their fight for equality. We discuss Paul's most recent book: Outrageous! Which charts the story of Section 28 and the battle for LGBTQ+ education. We loved Paul's book so much that we have started our own Pride & Progress Bookclub!

Mickey Ellis launched HIT and RUN as the antithesis to what he saw as a creatively barren and the environmentally devastating fast-fashion industry.  Having launched his first of numerous independent clothing brands back in 2003 he understood the challenges. The business was created to enable and promote the voices of the creatives striving to make a positive impact and to make some good t-shirts. The brand's aim is to promote artistic expression and cultural awareness while ensuring a minimal environmental impact. Every collection on HIT and RUN is designed by someone who wants to make a difference and to inspire others with their message. They have sourced the best garment suppliers who have transparent supply chains, and ensure wages and working conditions are superior to local standards. The garments are then printed and despatched from London.In this episode of the MenswearStyle Podcast we interview Mickey Ellis, Founder of HIT and RUN about his fashion entrepreneurship journey which led him to his latest brand idea combining art and clothing. Our host Peter Brooker and Mickey talk about fast-fashion, artist curation, sustainability, made to order manufacturing, screen printing vs digital printing, how London's creativity districts have moved on, and how prior brand Polari went viral among the LGBT community after a recent relaunch.  Whilst we have your attention, be sure to sign up to our daily MenswearStyle newsletter here.
