Synopsis
Excerpt from Dialect Notes, Vol. 4 of 7
It has been my purpose in making this collection of superlative and other terms that express approbation and eulogy, in American dialect or slang, to attempt a classification of the words brought together, so that more may be learned of their modes of forma tion, their frequency of occurrence, and the part that they play in general usage. Such a list is never complete, since from time to time new formations are coined and gain currency.
