Appeal to Jingo, Gimini, and George, and Jove;
Are “awfully” delighted, or “hideously” pleased,
Are suited “all to pieces,” or “villanously” teased.
If any man is tipsy they say he’s “screwed,” or “tight;”
Is any one ill-dressed? then he’s a “horrid fright;”
If one’s removed, he’s “mizzled,” “hooked it,” or else “cut;”
If any one is crazy, then he’s “off his nut;”
If appetite is bad, a man is “off his chump;”
Who pays for anything, must first “shell out,” or “stump.”
And so on—I might give a hundred sayings more,
