NEW York PBRAsEs.-From Mr.. Busted s
new work, The English Language in Amer
lea" we take the following:
Very few expressions are found 10 be pecu.
liar to the New Workers; at the same time,
there arc some striking words of Dutch origin,
which, being established in use when the city
OF New York was called New Amsterdam,
have thence spread all over the Union, and
been generally received. The first Of these
is stoOp, genuine Dutch noun, very slightly
disguised in its present orthography. Stoop
in Dutch means the same stoup in English,
drinking measure the real Batavian word
represented is StOep, from the word stOepeI.
to sit or stoOp down. Originally applied to
the bench, placed, according to the old Dutch
custom in front of the house, 1t came to desig-
nate all the steps on the topmost of which a
bench was placed, and remained attached to
them after the bench itself was swept away
by the improvements of modern fashion The
word is used in all classes Of society a. natu-
rally as door or window. The next word,
IOafer, is so very common in America, that,
although closely approximating to a slang
term, it cannot be overlooked here. The ex-
preston only found its way into writing about
the year 1Sl0, but had been in use long be-
fore especially in the vicinity of the markets.
1t is equivalent to vagabond intensified and
its personal application is one Of the greatest
insults that can be offered TO an American
sometimes like calling Frenchman eiRatHs
The third word is one used universally,
throughout the free States at least, and used
in sober seriousness, without any slang inteu-
ton. but confined entirely to the labOring
classes 1t is boss, for head-workmen or en-
pIoyer Servants will also use il in speaking
of their master. This is good Dutch, although
net Immediately recognizable under its pres
ent orthography. The original Batavian is
haas. a master workman. The New Workers
have a tendency to make the same proniscu-
Gus use of expect that the New Englsnders do
