AMERICAN SLANG HAS
ITS ADVANTAGES, TOO
By WINIFRED BLACK
So. we Americans are degenerating the English language—are we. Mr. j
Mencken?
Well, maybe we are. It is a good deal of a bore to hear people call ev- j
rrything from a sunset to the newest roadster,
galirSf'l1 'ISFVl
v . ' 'iff » , And. oh. what a trial it is to hear a pretty flap- J
per say that a dress is simply “snaky" when she
means that she likes it rather well.
No wonder the English are beginning to complain
about the American slang, but, whisper—what about:
the English slang?
A bit of -swank’*—'“rawther crumbly, don’t you 1
know,” "a little bit of all right," “bally rot dear boy.
bally rot."
Nowr what American could ever say. anything
more like a “dumb-bell” than that?
“Beautiful but dumb," “the deadly dulls,” “be
yourself." "be your age.” “go take a ride,” “step on
th. gas.” you are an awful flivver."
U iMFRLD BLACK “Dumb Doras, pretty Pollies, gold diggers, smiling
Sammies.” New what’s the matter, really, with any
cf this particular slang? Doesn't it tell its own
story? You don't have to know it by heart to know what It means.
You understand it the first time you hear it.
And the western slang—who in the world could describe a western road I
or any ether road that needs expert attention, any batter than “Owen
Wister and his cowboys" when they said, that the road was one of those
“Oh. Lcrd and Thank God Roads?"

• American slang says something,
and says it so that anyone can
catch the drift.
And how about the way we have
been corrupted with English slang
since we began reading Dickens
and paying out our good American
dollars to see the Gaiety Girl, and
listen to the comedians from the
alls?
What about ' Palls" and "blokes."
and "dips" and "old top." and
“wotcheer," "cheerio.” and "carry
on."—they are about as much like
early English as a dialect song by
Harry Lauder.
And anyhow our slang has local
color.
Down South we all reckon.
Down East we guess.
Out West we bet this, that and
the other.
Why aren't any one of these ex
pressions exactly a; good as—"only
fawncy?”
Whafs the use of trying to put
any language into a straitjacket?
Good slang is perfectly good if it
says what you want to say and says
it so that your world understands
it and Id rather hear all the slang
in the world all day than to listen
for one hour to one of these Prc
cisionists who says "if I were" and
"don t you" instead of the good,
easy dontchu. Sloppy of course,
but unaffected after all.
American slang for Americans.
That's mv idea if you must know,
and whisper—don't worry about
corrupting English conversation
with it.
Nobody can ever talk American |
slang as it should be talked—but an
American.
