«Lass uns mal 'ne Schnecke angraben» is a guide to German youth language by Claus Peter Müller-Thurau (Goldmann Verlag, paperback, 174 pp., in German).
It covers the vocabulary and sayings of the German youth scene of the eighties: poppers, punks, rockers, skinheads, teddy boys, rollers and spontis. It shows how they talk about relationships, school frustration, work and family conflicts, and argues that this slang, seen as vulgar by adults, is a reflection of emotions and experiences.
The subtitle is «Sprache und Sprüche der Jugendszene»; it was published in 1984 as number 6747 of the Goldmann series.
A book for those studying sociolinguistics or interested in German youth culture of the eighties.
