Oh yes - I looked up all about Polari afterwards, and found a couple of good (http://www.chris-d.net/polari/) websites (http://www.homeusers.prestel.co.uk/cello/Polari.htm) with extensive vocabularies. It looks fascinating, and it's such a shame that it seems to have all but died out. I'm particularly interested by how many words it has in it with obviously Italian roots. I would guess that's more to do with the travelling entertainment troupes who originally seem to have given rise to the dialect, rather than the gay subculture who picked it up in the '60s. But who knows?
