The Online Dictionary of Playground Slang

The Online Dictionary of Playground Slang is, perhaps, not something you would share with your children. But it is most definitely something you'd want to share with your inner child.

Here are some of the dictionaries contained therein:

Buzzwords: The 'honey on the language vine.' (beyond the playground)

Dictionary of Playground Slang (Online)

Ghastly Games (my favorite)

Hymns and Arias (well ok - Dirty Ditties, Rugby Songs and Chants)

It's time, it's time, it's time for a Nursery Rhyme!

Limericks - The Poetry of the People

Seedy Songs and Rotten Rhymes - the poetry of the playground.

Wriggly Wigglies (tongue twisters)

There is much to be learned and appreciated here: Memories to be spurred. Childhood to be relived. And especially the yeoman-like devotion of its editor, Chris Lewis, and his minions. But, for me, as your local funsmith, the Online Dictionary of Playground Slang is rich reminder of broad reaches, and sometimes harder realities of the playful path.
