Play with Words:

Play with words is a very good idea it help to maintain our Brain Capacity. Being Concentrate on a Word Game permit us to entertain our brain logic. When we focus our attention on “Crossword” it request quite a lot of energy.

After finishing a “Crossword” we generally end up with a Brain Completely Tired. When we practice Music Play with Something or Do some Art. It can also create something as strong Focus Attention sometimes named “Flow” that can make us forgetting everything do not realise Time is Flying.

By the way do you know that in the past we were explaining Electromagnetism Material and Radio FM Waves, Tv, Phone Signal would generate constantly sort of Electromagnetic “Noise” disturbance pollution that would affect our main Signal. And to avoid this, we would be able to send all Unnecessary Noise to the Milky Way.

( The Milky Way would be the place in Space,where we can find the highest amount of Asteroid, and where there is less chance that humanity would go one day if define a direction to explore in space ). ( This was something explain but quite long year ago not sure if it have been applied and maintain )

I use this story as metaphoric way to explain interest in Cross Word. We can see all our “Negative Waves” or “Attitude” as finally sort of “Unnecessary Signal Noise” that can be sent to our personal “Crossword” as if it was sent to the “Milky Way” in Space Kind Of.

National Newspaper as “Liberation” in France call “Word Game Page” previously as “Rajeux” a little Slung word meaning literally “Jalousie” using spelling “Jeux” meaning “Game in English“, it can be also translate as “Hungry player or Bad Player” with Hungry Cat for Illustration.

If you want to do Cross Word and you are Beginner. It’s generally difficult in the beginning. Some clue that can help is : Cross Word have sort of lexical with the same words used again and again to each cross word.

That’s by the way one of the alternative reason also to practice crossword, because it help to increase our Vocabulary and Spelling.

It can be also sometimes a nice way to share a moment with others people that we would not have time otherwise to discuss with. Doing a Crossword can be seen as sort of achievement or way to do something all together.

Some “Family Games” also exist in the same way trying to find word by moving characters as “Boggle” or “Scrabble“.

It’s globally nice time to pass with Friend and Family.

Slung:

When you listen Children at school you can sometimes hear them playing with words, Talking to each other using “Slung Words”, Sometimes playing with spelling “Parler en Verlan” meaning in French “Parler a l’anvert” Translated as “Speaking with invert spelling“. By the way it’s a very good exercise it increase our personal “Lexical” also permitting to be creative creating new word, or a different alphabet, as an other language when old people are using “Old French Words” or “Old Expression and Idiom” depending their Cultural and Region influence even in the same country.

History and Sense:

If you look at the Language Tongue with Historic evolution, (I didn’t had so much time to work and study on this topic ) But what is known regarding Language Tongue is it evolved during centuries, with different period in “Middle Age” collected and written by Monks in Europe and Monastery. If we look at old Ancient Books in Museum we can find some pages written in “Old French“.

Monks were the only peoples able to write because the only person educate (With Rich Peoples from Dynasty) in Each Country.

I precise this because Monks were also in all Europe depending Each Country and Cultural influence. We can see language evolved and continue to evolved probably depending each cultures (and Roots) Latin, Slavian, Hungarian, and so on…
Historically learning how were evolving Languages permit also to understand Culture influence in Europe with historical evolution in each country.

In France after Middle Age Writer and Philosopher named “Les lumieres” were writing in “Old French“. giving birth to a mouv as we call them “Les Lumieres” Diderot was one of the first authors creating Encyclopaedia/Dictionary in France.

Cultures depending country or region can be really different. Sometimes we are using some expression or idiom that can be seen as similar Spelling. But as “Roald Dahl” was mentioning in his books “BFG“, (The Same Word can have a completely different sense depending the Language in which it would have been Spoken).

Even if there is the same spelling we should be very careful, because the meaning can be completely different.

When we play with word something existing since centuries is “Poetry” it is even the purpose of “Word Play“, We can see it exist with lot of “Rules” that cannot be “Overpassed“.

Poetry can be compared as “Sports” or “Music” play, we have to follow rules for it. It’s complex and need Technique that we can learn with time.

Writing by respecting “Rules and Restriction” but also keeping “Rythms and Rhymes” create sometimes very beautiful Text. Music Lyrics come probably from the poetry.

“Street culture” and “Conscious Rap” Evolution:

The culture evolve in different countries and something appeared as “Counter Culture” emerged from the Street. Getting birth from evolution with Sound and Tempo as “Rap” or “Punk” with Rock. “Rap” had also declination with “Slam” or “Conscious Rap” ( “Rap Conscient” in French ).

“SLAM” is more adding importance in “Text” practically dedication to it, as sort of return to the Poetry (People are globally Speaking there Text without Music behind).
