Take a creaky 1950s dating manual. Replace key terms
and phrases with their modern rough equivalents from a
youth culture that hangs rather than dates. Sprinkle
in more new lingoisms from the vocabularies of urban,
suburban, and exurban offshot subcultures, derived
from the intervening continua of juvenilia. Shake well.

The result is an new-fashioned guide to age-old social
lifestyles, filled with in-your-face surprises and
unexpected linguistic somersaults.
