AMERICAN SLANG HAS
ITS ADVANTAGES TOO
By WINIFRED BLACK
So. we Americans are degenerating the English language—are we Mr.
Mencken?
Well maybe we are. It is a good deal of a bore to hear people call ev-
erything from a sunset to the newest roadster
‘swell.”
And. oh. what a trial it is to hear a pretty flap-
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
know." "a little bit of all right” "bally rot dear boy.
bally rot.”
Now what American could ever say anything
more like a "dumb-bell” than that?
"Beautiful but dumb” "the deadly dulls.” "be
vourself.” "be your age.” "go take a ride.” "step on
th; gas.” you are an awful flivver. ’
WINIFRED “Dumb Doras pretty Pollies gold diggers rmiling
Sammies.” Now what’s the matter really with any
of this particular slang? Doesn't it tell its own
:tor.v? You den 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
or any other road that reeds expert attention any better than "Owen
Wister and his cowboys” when they said that the road was one of those
j "Oh. Lord and Thank God Roads?”

Misses Jewell Watson and Paul-
ine McCalip left Friday we'tt *o

lor-Belton.
• 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 on? of these ex-
pressions exactly a. good as—only
fawncy?”
What's 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 I'd rather hear all the slang
in the world all day than to listen
for one hour to one of these Pre-
cisionists who says "if I were” and
"don't you” instead of the good
easy dontchu. Sloppy of course
but unaffected after ail.
American slang for Americans.
That's my 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.
