Is Dating Dead? ...is a headline that has appeared in numerous popular magazines and sociological essays in recent years. If true, then what the heck are paired-up people doing out there at Starbucks, at the Cineplex, dining romantically, strolling arm-in-arm--in other words, pursuing the age-old and instinctive rituals of attraction and courtship? What do we call it now!! Hanging out won't do. It's clumsy...an awkward compounding that will create all kinds of confusing and unmellifluous constructions. Unheard of Books has done the world a great service by creating the solution, a shortened terminology--and much, much more--and that solution is The Art of Hanging. This book refines the vocabulary of the activity-formerly-known as dating, and creates a guide, a handbook for the modern-thinking individual interested in getting out there and Hanging, and doing it righteous. Recipe for The Art of Hanging 1. Take a 1950s dating manual. 2. Replace key terms and phrases with standardized, simplified equivalents from the actual day-to-day usage of a youth culture that hangs rather than dates. 3. Sprinkle in more new lingoisms from the vocabularies of subsequent urban, suburban, and exurban youth subcultures. Add catchphrases, neologisms, niche jargons, and cliches from pop culture, pop psychology, and Madison Avenue. 4. Shake well. The result is an old-fashioned guide to new social lifestyles, filled with in-your-face surprises and unexpected linguistic somersaults.
