Slang
Origin
Pigritia is a terrible word.
It engenders a whole world, la pègre , for which read “theft,” and a hell, la pègrenne , for which read “hunger.”
Thus, idleness is the mother.
She has a son, theft, and a daughter, hunger.
Where are we at this moment? In the land of slang.
What is slang? It is at one and the same time, a nation and a dialect; it is theft in its two kinds; people and language.
