Language | Where do words come from and why?

by Professor Auberon Brinsley-Standish

Even as a professor of English, it is not my place to reject new terms and vocabulary just because they do not suit my way of understanding things or of expressing myself in as erudite a fashion as possible.

Words emerge from the parallel worlds of slang linked to music, sport, the ghettos of the world and from the various walks of life - economic and technological for example- and often embed themselves in common and everyday speech through frequent useage or simply because it is fashionable to adopt ‘cool’ new words.

Here are a few 'new' words which may never make it to the language itself, but nevertheless form part of the constant stream of vocabulary pouring from the orifices of the world around us.

Enjoy!
