    In 1956, Terry "Tubesteak" Tracy, freshly fired from his job at a downtown insurance company, bid goodbye to the 9-to-5 life and headed for the Malibu shore, where he built himself a shack out of wood scraps and palm fronds and sailed into surfing history.

  4. Battle rattle

    Hookers, rock stars, football coaches, cops, psychiatrists, pickpockets, political policy wonks — every trade has its own insider jargon, every group a lingo or recognition code that separates “ins from outs,” “us from them,” the clued from the un-clued, the frontline vets from the REMFs and Beltway Clerks.

  8. Chinese dictionary leaves out gay slang

    Check this out: the latest edition of the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary has added more than 4,000 words to its manifest of acceptable terms and definitions this year -- and left out one. &quot;Tongzhi" is both the Mandarin and Cantonese word for comrade.

    “Arthur Christmas” is a spirited, comically chaotic and adorably anarchic addition to the world's over-supply of holiday cartoons. It's very British, in other words — from its producers (Aardman, the folks who gave us “Wallace &...
