cause slang does not corrupt the Eng
lish language said Prof. Thomas ~.
Knott in an address at the university
of Chicago on slang, COlloquialism
and Standard Usage"
Slang is not abnormal he said.
ut is a sort of vagabOnd speech that
is all the time crossing the boundary
of our conventional dialect.
Among our slang expressions which
have their origin in sports are to get
by from football, serve up hot one
from tennis. and slip one over from
baseball other slang consists of eX-
treme and ingenious metaphors. In
this class are he's a false alarm, hes
got a flat tire and he's tanked,
soused picked boiled or stewed.'
He said no longer is the cOmmuter
up against it" when he breaks shoe
string four minutes before train time
but signs I'm surely shoetied."
The professor said that all attempts
to nix a language must fail.
I'm order that language may be
fixed. all the men who use slang must
be dead. Only then can the language
be permanently embalmed."
