Urban-Edge Literature

1. A new genre of literature that features edgy, urban settings; hip, colorful characters; and the cool, razor-sharp language of the streets.
2. Also called "Edge Lit"

Coined by BP Masin, 12Sep03

The new field of "urban-edge literature" is a huge success not only with inner-city youth, but also with the whitebread kids of the 'burbs. It resonates strongly with the tone of today's youth: hip, edgy, vigorous. It's "two-dimensional hip-hop."

literature

Literature is a sort of aesthetic expression, usually involving words, but can be made of patterns or symbols. Most people think of literature as novels, but it can be anything you read, write, or create, as long as it has a special meaning. For example, a regular old to-do list is not literature, while a combination of certain symbols can be considered such.

My favourite kind of literature is prose.

I want you all to read Homer's Illiad, then write a 13-15 page report on its relation to the condition of Asia at the time. It will be due next week.

Literary Homosexuals

One who speaks with correct pronunciation and in old english. They are commonly found in rich urban areas throughout the United States. They usually have a habit of correcting others grammar and oral language.

Literary Homosexuals:

They will type with correct punctuation and grammar and usually speak in a formal manner:
"Hello my fellow colleague. How was your day at school? Mine was fantastic, thank you for asking!"

They even sometimes correct you for small mistakes in your speech.

"Alright, me and Matt are going to get lunch." -Person
"Matt and I.*" - Literary Homosexual.

These people are continuing to grow in wealthy areas that are moderately populated. Watch out, because they increase in their obsession with Literary perfection, and continue to enforce anger in people around them.

literature rape

is when you have such a great opening statement to your speech that the audience gets aroused in the Shakespearean type of a way. Literaturelly.

When the ice breaker is so good you can feel it in your heart you have successfully performed a literature rape on your audience.
