Slang, like other dittleote, comes from
thegoinnitin people.' A elangdiotionary is ,
not very pretty reading. It is- primitive, .
to say the bast, but slang is effective when -
it takesready-made words and adapts .
them skilfully • to new ideas. It is espce
oially witty in the mouth of a refined por-
tion who uses the language of factories and
ambles, and 'kitchens and shops, of prize
fighters and artisans, philologically, with a
sense, not only of ite primitive meaning,
but of ite possibly tunny application. Ame-
rican humor as developed by Mark Twain, '
Bill Nye, Bret Harte, and a thousand '
newepaper writers, is rich in this rollick-
ing swagger of strange words, reminding
one of old Stefano and Trinoulo, in -" The
Tempest," "witty in their °rms." •
