[EAN: 9780243435463], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 25: November, 1859 Students have peculiarities in their speech; they have coined a few words, distinguished rather for their similarity in sound to the ideas expressed, than for beauty or eloquence. TO them has been applied the name Of college slang, and not a few people seem to labor under the idea that this is so extensive, and so extensively used, that the con versation Of a collegian must be an unknown quantity to any but his fellows. They preach against it, and ridicule it, on this ground. But, unfortunately, such discourses are based on a false text, and the tirades are useless and ridiculous. The truth is, that there are but few words peculiar to student language. By far the greater portion of that which you preach against, my good sir, is borrowed from the world, outside of college. It does not spring up here, and is not native to this soil. What are termed slang phrases, are spread all over the country, and few there are who escape entirely their contagion. You who abuse us for using them, if you carefully scan your words, will doubtless find one or two creeping into your own cultivated discourse. GO it blind, mind your eye, etc. Etc., are not college phrases, and we must not, as college students, receive especial blame for them. If censure is to fall upon us as a class, it must be given for those things originated by us, and peculiar to us. We are not anxious to have the short comings common to other people laid to our charge alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
