Slang of Other Days.

Slang has always been a fruitful
source for the expansion Of language
and instances may be multiplied Of
words now respectable which were
once tabooed as vulgar.
But, on the other hand, there have
been many slang phrases in use for
centuries which have never become ac-
ceptable to the purlsts. AS long ago
as 1850, the celebrated letter writer,
Horace Walpole, used to speak Of "slt-
ting guzzllng" and getting drunk as
an owl"
Then again, in the diary Of one Of
the most prominent woman writer's Of
the eighteenth century, Frances Bur-
ney, are found good slang phrases Of
the American college girl Of to-day, az
for instance: II sneaked out" Did
you ever know such toad?" and II
had a vile cold"
