excellent, wonderful Explanation: Apparently, this word means excellent or wonderful in Polari. See the references below, including the title of an album by Dr. John. I've also included a definition I found for Polari. Hope this helps! Sheila http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?ean=64494... Desitively Bonaroo Dr. John http://nz.com/NZ/Queer/Polari/polari.html http://www2.prestel.co.uk/cello/Polari.htm http://www.geocities.com/gaylanguage/AppendixB.htm 4 bonaroo wonderful, excellent r bonaroo http://members.aol.com/frij/ How bona to varda your dolly old eek! Don't be strange, troll in and welcome to my bijou cyber-drag lattie, devoted to the bespangled glory of polari. Polari (also Parlyaree, Parlary) is the most complete form of gay slang, comprising odds and sods from rhyming slang, circus backslang, Romany, Latin and criminal cant. Polari - originating from the theatrical Parlyaree - is best described as a mish-mash of expressions and words thrown together to make a semi-comprehensible glossary, whose high renaissance was during the 1960's when it was popularised in the mainstream by the larger than life characters of Julian and Sandy in the BBC Radio series Round The Horne. |

guay, divertido, genial, excelente, etc.. Explanation: Hola Ruby Parace ser una palabra que partenece al argot de ciertos ambientes. Abajo te copio un par de glosarios en donde aparece. Significa 'cool', 'excellent', 'wonderful', lo cual creo que tiene bastante sentido en tu texto. Creo que hay que adaptarla al argot que compartan el remitente y el destinatario de la carta, el que puede llegar a ser muy local. Por eso, las sgerencias que te pueda dar no necesariamente son las más certeras. Suerte! Reference: http://www.ellroy.com/glossary.htm www2.prestel.co.uk/cello/Polari.htm |
