Where does the.slang of the day originate?
When a new verbal monstrosity comes into
currency its origin is as mysterious as its
effect is startling. On roof garden last
night weary.looking youth in straw hat
that had seen better days and with tell.tale
puffs beneath his eyes, released two straws
from his mouth long enough to remark, Ian
guidly, that he was suffering from horrible
case of the "dng.bats." His companion,
who looked like vaudeville lady, had just
remarked in a tone loud enough to be heard
by her neighbors, that one of the performers
was "a useless bunch of trousers" One
the object of her criticism was professionally
incompetent. It's a great language.-N. Y.
