When Jessica Holsey—who has shown herself equally capable of dishing passes and deflecting attention—flashes a wide, proud smile, you know she has something else in store. “When I was eight,” Harvard’s normally soft-spoken co-captain says, “that’s when I started playing. I was the only girl on a boys’ team up until sixth grade.”Years before she headlined a regional powerhouse at Sidwell Friends High School in Maryland, earned the nickname...

Many teens in the U.K. have a fluent command of Blinglish, a melding of West Indian and English street slang, enriched by borrowings from black urban America and Grime, a form of London hip-hop. It's spoken in schools and clubs, on street corners and all over the Internet - anywhere, in fact, where kids enjoy mastering a language that excludes parents and other authority figures. Until now. The two dictionaries cited above unlock some of the secrets of the new lingo, as well as providing glossaries of longer established...
