Do o booze?

Do you booEe7 Isl. ,..
1t is safe to say that not more than one
man in a hundred who use the word
booze knows the origin of the term, and
yet 1t is one of the most common OF the
many expressions that grace the pariance
Of a certain class OF society.
"A bottle of booze" He booIes too
much,'' "BoozefiEhter." Booze shop" and
Booze singer are some. of the applica-
lions of this bit Of modern English. which
though so well known, both materially and
verbally, to the English speaking peoples
OF the world is inexplicable by the average
person. .t
ITO booze at a doze house" Is even more
when one tries to figure out how
the expression came to nave the meaninE
OF sleep at a lodging house, However,
enthusiasts of Robert Burns verses will
remember that he uses blouse" and
'~couse'' anonymously in the sense of
''carouse," so that may explain the orIgin
OF the word booze" and its present appli-
cation to liquor. But its former reference
to sleep is made doubly obscure by this
Interpretation, and the word ''snoozsi' must
be called into reference to explain how
BOOKING in a doze house, ever meant
sleeping there. 1t is obvious that 'doxe
house means a place for sleeping.
