Slang Plagiarists
by LILLIAN RUSSELL.

Slang is invariably a product Of
mental laziness Did it ever occur to
you that majority of those using
slang are merely plagiarists? or course,
they are. Few people originate slang
The majority merely use words and
phrases originated and oddly applied
by others.
would not say that slang is not ex-
pressive. In many instances 1t Is espe-
cially pointed, and really more express
sive than words and phrases that would
be sanctioned by the most cxacting
purist Nevertheless. slang Is inva-
riably tho product OF mental laziness
The user utilizes some other PERSONS
words or phrases instead OF attempting
to be original.
New words and expressions are COM
Ing Into use every day. The person
who can coin words Is much to be en-
We'd. The one who can originate words
and expressions that are sufficiently
catchy to leap from tongue to tongue
until they have covered the whole coun-
try Is nothing short Of genius. Tho
percentage OF such persons is small.
In this age Of slang their following
Is large. This Is partly because the
word or phrase appears to be strik-
ingly expressive and largely for the
reason that either can BIO used without
exacting much thought.
The use of slang Is not particular
exhibition OF brillancy The phono-
graph, you know, records the words of
others and repeats them correctly. A
great many people who use slang are
just like q photograph. They are so
mentally lazy that they do not think
for themselves, but now and then utter
a slangy expression or exclamation
which will fit in most any place.
1t would be extreme to declare that
the use OF slang should be entirely
avoided. Some of the slang words
brought into use few years ago were
considered 80 strong that they found
their way into the dictionary. The new
definitions given various words have
been SO generally accepted that COM
pliers OF dictionaries have been com.
PEELED to use them.

those who are mentally lazy or too dull
