IMPORTED SLANG.
America is indebted to the old
/ world for nearly all its vulganis ms
and cant phrases. They are not
! Americanisms but Europeanisms
: What is called the nasal drawl" OF
Yankee land, for example, il "a
gift from Norfolk and Suffolk, Eng
land, where they LAY "eend" for end
"keOw' for COW, "eout' for out, eic.
! just as some folks do in the New
! States.
The old Dutch settlers have sup
piled us with "a good many queer
words. For example, "cooky" is "a
modification o." koekie," Il little cake /;
-hruller" is II m the Dutch verb
krullen, TO curl; "speck and apple
jees," is slight modification OF
speek and appeltjes, the name for
pork and apples among the Holland
eTs; and boss" is an improvement on
the Dutch word "baas." employer.
To the Mexicans we owe several
outlandish phrases, such as STAN
pede. chaparral, ranch, vamose. etc. =
the last being n adaptation OF the
Spanish verb vamos - literally, let
us go.
But the mother country has fur
nished nine-tenths or the contents OF
our slang vocabulary TO her We
/ are indebted for such lingusl deli
cacies as "larrup. mizzle, let up, let
on, yourn, hern and theirn." "Shes'n"
is also used in some parts OF Eng
land, but We have not "a yet i'm
ported that symbol OF feminine own
ership.
"B ,gus" is another Angicism 1t
il, we believe, the vulgate for Dor
giese," the name OF forger who
"operated" somewhat extensively
across the water about fifty years ago.
He passed false tokens and counter
felt bills 10 Il large amount. and hence
the term bogus" is applied to what
ever il false and fraudulent
There are others which we might
anne, and trace 10 their origin, but.
like chickens, some OF them would
be apt 10 come home TO roosi; yet
nine tenths OF ours were Matched on
the oth'r side OF the Atlantic. The
worst that can be said OF rs "a a ma
ton. is. that being OF liberal and
benevolent turn OF mind, we have nat
uralized some OF the slang Of Europe
as well as millions of its citizens.
Error, "hOw TO create an interest in
leading classees,' should be reading
+ classes.
