I've just finished my article on slang. Twenty-three pages compiled from a dozen reference...

Something wrong with the clip?

Quote

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: Well? Professor Bertram Potts: Everything from the idiotic combination of "absotively" to the pajorative use of "zigzag." I traced the evolution of "hunky-dory," tracked down "skidoo" from "skedaddle." Eight-hundred examples and I may as well throw it in the wastebasket. Three weeks work... 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: "Hoi toi toi." Not one of them included.
