Hoodie
AUDIO SCRIPTS
Listening Section 1
There was a newspaper headline in the middle of last year, ‘Hoodie Hoodlums’ it said. It
referred to people who were going around looking like gangs wearing hooded tops,
baseball caps, clothing which deliberately obscured the face, suggesting that the wearer
might be a danger to the public, so much so that baseball caps and hooded tops were
actually banned in 2005 at one shopping mall in Britain. Well, as you might expect, it
caused a huge reaction. I mean, youngsters complaining of being stereotyped just because
of a few nasty people.
Listening Section 2
The linguistics isn’t so controversial. The spelling first of all: ‘hoody’, or ‘hoodie’, and
more often with the ‘ie’ than not. And that’s because it’s the usual familiarity marker that
you get on lots of words in English, words like, sweetie, auntie, goalie (goal keeper),
daddy and mummy, and of course in names too, Susie (Susan).
Well, will it catch on? I think so, judging by the huge sales of hoodies now. And also, it’s
achieved a kind of presence in popular music. There was a single released towards the end
of 2005 by Lady Sovereign, it was actually called ‘Hoodie’. And then on the web the other
day, I was looking at ipods, and the latest accessory to keep your ipod clothed – what do
you think it’s called? An ipod hoodie!
