Thank you for the translation of slang, I'm not too up to date with the slang of today. It frustrates me though, why can't people simply say the words instead of that garbled way of speaking. Are humans really this lazy?

Edit: Perhaps calling it trashy was a stretch.

It is actually not being lazy, but rather clever, if you think about it; when was the last time you read any of the Bard's sonnets?

I'm not much of a fan of Shakespeare, care to recommend others?

*I only did the required reading of his in high school. Though Twelfth Night was amusing and more interesting than the others, i.e. Romeo and Juliet, and others for some reason I can't remember.

You are missing a lot; you have not read Othello, or Merchant of Venice?

Hamlet, and Macbeth are my favourites.

a) Lord Tennyson is good, if you could see past his monarchist leanings.
b) Both Ovid, and Aristophanese are brilliant.

Neat, thank you. I do remember reading American classics at the age of 13-15. I tried some heavy reading then.

Ah, the Greek classics, I see? Curiously, where are the Middle Eastern/MENA philosophers of that time? Dumbly, I don't know of any of them. Possibly, you know them and their books?

I remember being friends with someone in high school who enjoyed those. She was a great fan of his.

No, unfortunately. But, considering you seem well read and educated, and give such good advice, I shall bow to your wisdom on this. Many thanks for the help.

Actually, I no longer read Western philosophy, for I trust it had reached its apex, and instead I have been reacquainting myself with Eastern philosophy, which I find richer, broader, deeper, and with more authenticity.

The ones with whose body of works, some of it, and not all, I am acquainted are Al-Kindi (father of maths), Al-Khwarizmi (the great mind, who gave us algorithms and foundation for cryptography, conveniently named after him), and Rumi (the romantic poet); this is not to discount Mirza Ghalib, the great Urdu thinker, and romanticist, whose body of work I learnt later, was heavily influenced by Rumi's; his work makes up a big part of Arab literature in the popular Al-Ghazaliyun.

On another front, Ibn Sinna (Avicenna as he is fondly famed in the West), the most influencial in modern medicine, who gave us the concept of prognosis, after Galen, the Greek pioneer, by way of Alexandria, father of diagnosis, and credited to have chartered a path for modern medicine, albeit I credit more Li Shizhen, or Dongbi as fondly known, in his natural remedies, botanical research, much more extensive than Galen's, but then Galen had the Gladiators to experiment with, and to keep alive for the mob, at the behest of the Roman purse, whereas Dongbi had to wrestle, literally with hoofed herds, mostly pigs.

Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica is a masterpiece, the foundation for Chinese medicine (just recently permitted to be translated from Mandarin).

Al-Ghazali is in a class of his own with respect to jurisprudence, and idea analyses, and more popular now than his contemporaries for obvious reasons.

Ibn Khaldoun, and Ibn Rushd (Averroes) are two, whose works I have not extensively delved into, but familiar with their contributions.

Postscript:
If in the least attentive to poetry, I am currently reading:
a) Somali: 'Diiwaanka Daraawiishta'
Kofil* is a lovely, if a befitting poem for the nostalgists amongst us.
* Koofil 'Richard Corfield', the 2nd in command of Horace Byatt, Governor of British Somaliland, and leader of the colonial force, Camel Constabulary; he was killed by the Dervishes.

b) Arabi: https://tinyurl.com/yxyn3r33

Actually, there is more to your statement than meets the eye, for the Huguenots* greatly contributed to the Cockney rhyming tradition, almost mortus now it must be noted, and made up a considerable slice of the Cockney culture, ergo the Yiddish influence. Many of my Cockney mates were of J2wish extraction.

* When the J2ws had been expelled from France, at the tail of the 18th century, many came to Britain passing off as Protestants ending up in the East End of London from White Chapel through Tower Hamlet all the way to Barking; many of the East End markets were actually of J2wish traders.

If Dickensian in any form, or acquainted with his body of work, then you will have been familiar with many of his leading characters drew steam from that cultural influence; good examples are lead characters in Oliver Twist. Even Shaw reflected some in his work viz. Pygmalion. You get the gist of it.
