Talk Like a Californian: A Hella Fresh Guide to Golden State Speak

Autor Helena Ventura
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2017
Dude, are you pumped to hack California-speak so you don’t sound like a buster? This sweet guide will get you talking fresh, whether you’re in the 626 or the Yay Area, whether you're below the line or in the pocket, or whether you're on fleek or on hiatus. Swoop this epic read, take the 5 to the 405 to the 73, and you’ll be a legit Californian.
To translate, this vibrantly designed, modestly priced pocket guide to California slang will help residents and visitors alike feel at home wherever they go in the Golden State, from a San Diego beach to a Santa Monica food truck and from a Hollywood soundstage to a Silicon Valley cocktail party. And it's an insane gift!
You can't possibly understand California until you speak the language, so Talk Like a Californian will define all the essentials, including finna, Los Doyers, the Marin Bubble, scripty, ramen profitable, the Orange Crush, shred, Ghetto Blue, tightsauce, Zonies, la troca, good looks, and Karl the Fog.
Helena Ventura is the pen name for a California writer of mystery and lore. Speaking for her will be the book’s editor Colleen Dunn Bates, publisher of Prospect Park Books and a sixth-generation Californian.

Recenzii

"The book is full of knowing insights into seemingly small phrases that offer real glimpses into the way we live from how we talk… the only thing wrong with the volume is it’s too slim, which in the end invites a sequel, which will be a good thing. Then I can learn new variants on my native tongue to complement this techism: ‘three commas club,’ as in being suddenly worth a cool billion.”
— Larry Wilson, Los Angeles Daily News and Pasadena Star-News
