lin·gua·phile |
Graduate student specializing in 18th century British literature with an emphasis on the novel. Lover of John Milton, Jane Austen, and Charlotte Bronte. (Yes, I know none of them published in the 18th century.) Occasional writer of lengthy fictions, seven-time NaNoWriMo participant and former Office of Letters and Light intern. Reader of much young adult and/or fantasy lit. Lifetime lover of Diane Duane's Young Wizards series, recently fanatic about Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan trilogy, blaming it all on Harry Potter. Wanderluster. Left my heart in London, reclaim it bit by bit through tea and Doctor Who and Sherlock and Downton Abbey. |
For personal reference, though some are pretty interesting, so it can be used by anyone really!
YES GIVE ME THIS
Dude. Dude.
First reaction: “Oh god I need this for when I write epic post-Goliath fic!” Second reaction: “Wait a minute, when did I decide to write an epic post-Goliath fic?!” (Third reaction: “Wait a minute, these probably aren’t British.”)
In all honesty, the next project I really want to sink my teeth into with regards to Leviathan fandom is a story about Nora Darwin before she became Dr. Barlow, for which this slang would not be useful, even if it was British. STILL COOL THOUGH.
