Description:

From the Introduction of this 84 page book: "Don't expect to hear Bawlmerese in every part of town. Even where you do find it there will be variations. Each neighborhood is like a separate tribe, speaking its own version of the mother tongue and proud of its individuality. I hope this book manages to capture some of the sounds and spirit of the tribes of Bawlmer, my hometown. The particular combination that has give Bawlmer its unique quality is a mixture of Cockney, German, Italian, along with a variety of Southern American dialects and more than a touch of Central Europe." The author hopes his readers "will enjoy this guide to Bawlmerese and that they will go out and to have a beer in a corner tavern, ride a bus, bowl a few frames - the true charm of the language can best be appreciated when heard in its natural environment."
