RECNIK
ANGLO-AMERICKOG
SLENGA A DICTIONARY OF ANGLO-
AMERICAN SLANG

Preko 5000 zargonskih reci i izraza/Over 5000 entries

Preradeno i dopunjeno/Revised and enlarged

 Sleng izrazi imaju veci emotivni naboj od standardnih reei koje
objasnjavaju isti pojam, a za razliku od njih izrazavaju i neku vrstu
drskosti prema moralnim i jezickim autoritetima.
Za neke anglo-amerieke sleng izraze postoje odgovarajuci ekvi-
valenti u srpskom jeziku, a za neke se mora traziti novi izraz. Na pri-
mer, Englezi kazu hit the bottle, a Srbi imaju slicne izraze: "udarati
po picu", ili "ceveiti". I jedni i drugi kazu: "frizirati raeune" (cook the
books), dok recimo za pushover nema odgovarajuceg ekvivalenta
na srpskom pa se mora opisno prevesti kao "nesto vrlo lako" i
"maeji kasalj".
Srdan Vujica, anglista i prevodilac, kaze da je potreba za poja-
yom ovakvog reenika kod nas bila velika, i da ce korist od ovog
poduhvata svakako biti znaeajna. "Gerzicev reenik ima niz pozitiv-
nih strana. Ovo se prvenstveno odnosi na izbor obradene grade i
jasna objasnjenja, kojima, bar do sada, ovaj prikazivae nije nasao
vece zamerke. U vezi s tim, naroeito vazno - srecom i uspesno - je-
ste to sto je Gerzic, kad je to bilo moguce, u objasnjenjima navodio
adekvatne zargonske izraze naseg jezika. Sto se tiee preciznosti
Recnika, ona verovatno ima veze i sa dobro izabranom sekundar-
nom literaturom koja je navedena na kraju knjige."
Novinar Simo Cirkovic pise: "Gerzicev Recnik anglo-americkog
slenga Ijubitelji ovog globalnog jezika savremenog sveta dozivece
kao otkrice neslucenih nijansi i srpskog i engleskog jezika. Ne be-
zeci ni od arhaizama, a postujuci vrhunske odlike beogradskog stila
ovaj mladi leksikograf saeinio je deja kojim bi se ponosio i tim
struenjaka."
Nikola SUica, kritiear, smatra da "za beogradsku sredinu, sa-
mostalni izdavaeki poduhvat pisca i prevodioca Bore Gerzica domi-
sljato i inovativno prekriva podrueje za koje su bile nadlezne i prire-
divaeki usmerene mnoge izdavaeke kuce i filoloske institucije. Uobi-
eajeno je da se u beogradskoj kulturi, pak, samostalna inicijativa i
istrajnost pokazu znaeajnijim i vaznijim, uprkos sto poslednjih godi-
na vlada pravilo porazavajuceg obilazenja i nipodastavajuceg stava
prema takvim autohtonim pojavama (...) U bilo kojoj sredini Gerzi-
cev reenik ovog tipa i ovakve prodornosti bio bi pozdravljen kao iz-
davaeki dogadaj."
1. Sleng izrazi svrstani su po kljuenoj reGi. Kljuena ree je ree
(najeesce imenica, glagol ili pridev) koja je izazvala postanak i sli-
kovito znaeenje samog izraza. Prema tome, ako Gitalac zeli da pro-
nade izraz down the tubes, mora prvo da proceni koja je ree po
njemu kljuena, i ako dode do zakljueka da je to ree tubes potrazice
u Recniku kod slova 1. Ali izraz moze da bude i na drugom mestu
u Recniku, u ovom slueaju pod slovom D. U svakom slueaju, Citalac
treba da bude spreman da potrazi zeljeni izraz na vise mesta u
Recniku (na drugoj mogucoj kljuenoj reei izraza).
2. Izrazi su svrstani po abecedi (npr. catch it je iznad catch on.
Nisu uzimani u obzir samo elanovi (the, a, an) na poeetku izraza.
ReCi u zagradama uzimane su u obzir (npr. one's u izrazu have
(one's) end off).
3. U nekim slueajevima sleng izraz ima dva ili vise oblika, a isto
ili vrlo slieno znaeenje: flog the lizard, flog the log, flog the dong,
flog the meat. U Recniku je dato: flog the lizard/log/dong/meat.
4. U zagrade je stavljen deo izraza koji se moze izostaviti a da
se smisao bitno ne promeni: go (all) to pieces.
5. Ako sleng izraz (ili ree) ima vise Znaeenja, srodna Znaeenja
su odvojena zapetom, a razlieita taekom i zapetom.
6 Primeri bez navodnika preuzeti su iz britanskih ili ameriekih
recnika slenga navedenih u Izvorniku. Primeri pod navodnicima su
iz britanskih i ameriekih novina, easopisa, knjizevnih dela itd.
7. U Recniku je (uglavnom) dato prenosno Znaeenje reei ili iz-
raza, a ne prvo i osnovno Znaeenje (koje moze da se nade u obie-
nom reeniku).
. 8. Sleng izrazi koji se upotrebljavaju pretezno u engleskom je-
zlku oznaeeni su sa GB, a oni koji se upotrebljavaju pretezno u
ameriekom engleskom sa US. Neoznaeeni izrazi upotrebljavaju se
I u jednom i u drugom govornom podrueju.
