Can you speak Buffy?

Now the witty diction of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been accorded the academic respect that it deserves in Professor Michael Adams’s Slayer Slang (Oxford University Press). Under headings such as ‘The Attraction of Prefixes’ and ‘Folk Etymologies’, Adams, a historian of lexicography, admiringly picks apart the language of the show. He also provides a densely annotated glossary of its peculiar words and phrases.
