Professor Bertram Potts:
I've just finished my article on slang. Twenty-three pages compiled from a dozen reference books, eight hundred examples. Prof. Robinson:

You're hysterical. Professor Bertram Potts:
Outmoded... based on reference books twenty years old. Take "smooch," take "dish," take, uh... Prof. Oddly:
"Hoi toi toi?" Professor Bertram Potts:
