the legacies were paid the residue was
turned over to Mr. O’Brien’s two sisters,
Mrs. Coleman and Mrs. Joseph MeDon
o igb. These two ladies inherited *3,500,-
000 each.
SLANG AND ITS ORIGIN.
How Some Popular W orde and Phrases
Came Into Being.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
This may bo called in one sense the age of
slang. But after all what is called slang is
frequently the giving of anew meaning to
old words or the invention of new words
from old roots. The slang of to-day be
comes the elegant language of to-morrow.
It is interesting to note how many of the
commonest words and even prases which
were once regarded as slangy and inelegant
became part of the polite language of the
times. Words, like lives, have a biography.
Many words, indeed, have histories which
are fiistorios of important personages and
events in the affairs of the world. This
makes the history of a word often a-, in
teresting and as valuable as that of indi
viduals.
“Dun” is a word now whose moaning is
known to every one who understands the
English language. Too many wish they
did not know it. Yet, at the beginning of
this century it was unknown as a verb.
About that time a co..stable in England
named John Dun became celebrated as a
first-class collector of bad accounts. When
others would fail to collect a had debt,
Duu would be sure to get it out of the
debtor. So well known did this become,
that people from all the surrounding coun
try sent him their accounts when they
could not collect them. It soon passed into
a current phi ase that when a person owed
money, and did not pay when asked, he
would have to be “Dunned.” Hence, it
soon became common in such cases to say,
“You will have to Dun so-and-so if you
wish to collect your money.”
OUTSIDERS AND POLITICAL BOOMS.
Until the nomination of Franklin Fierce
for the presidency the word “outsider” was
unknown. The committee on credentials
came in to make its report and could not
get into the hall because of the crowd of
people w’ho were not members of the con
vention. The chairman of the convention
asked if the committee was ready to report
and the chArman of the committee an
swered: “Yes, Mr. Chairman; but the com
mittee is unable to get inside on account of
the crowd aud of these outsiders.”
The newspaper reporters ever ready to ap
preciate a good word or phrase, took up the
word and used it. Since then it has been a
common word and we could not do without
it. “Boom,” in its new sense of meaning a
popular clamor for a man, or for any ques
tion or movement, is a recent word—being
first used as suoh in 1880. Grant was boiug
ru i for a third term. This biought out a
bitter Opposition, even among the republi
cans. One paper said the movement was
like a boom across a swollen stream, taking
in all that was worth having. A St. Louis
paper took it up, and said tho third-term
movement was properly called a boom, ai
it raked in everything on the top of tho
muddy stream of p litics, mostly trash and
scum. This gave anew meaning to the
word. Since then it has been in common
use as such.
HOW CHESTNUTS CAME INTO BEING.
“Chestnuts,” in reference jto repeating
stories which are old, is anew word, and
not much can be said in its favor, except,
that, being a word that is not inelegant
either in sound or origin, and expressing so
much in two syllables, it has probably come
to stay with us. Its origin is not positively
known, and only two probable sources are
given. One is that some shrewd wit, seeing
an analogy between the propensity of a
j )ke to become stale and flat quickly and
the chestnut to become wormy in a few
days, applied the word “chestnuts” to a
joke when repeated too often and palmed
off as now on a company which
had heard it ;;q frequently as to be
come bored. This may bo its origin, but
I am inoiined to attribute it to the other
alleged source, to wit: That a theatrical
party, traveling on a train, and trying to
beguile the weary hours by reading and
telling stories, bought ft lot of chostnurs at
a station to help pas; the time. A member
of the company proposed that they tell
stories, and that whoever told a story which
had been told recently should be pelted
with chestnuts. A little bell in the party
was to be ruug whenever a stale joke was
perpetrated as a signal t at all were to
fling a chestnut at the offender. This is
said to be the origin both of the phrase and
of the chestnut bell craze which raged over
this entire country four years ago.
DAVID COPPERFIELD CALLED A DAISY.
“You are a daisy,” is considered very
slangy by those who use it indiscriminately
and often times it is. But, if used in the
sense in which its inventor, if I may so
speak of a word, Charles Dickens, intended
it, it is a good and forcible word. In
“David Conperfleld” it is first used in the
sense of calling a person a daisy in a way to
express admiration, and, at the same time,
to laugh at one’s credulity. Steerforth
says to young Copperfield: “David, my
daisy, you are so innocent of the world.
Let me call you my daisy, as it is so refresh
ing to fiad one in these corruot days so in
nocent and unsophisticated. Mj
dear Copperfield, the daisies of
the field are not fresher
than you.” Hence, when conveying the
idea ttiat a person is artless and innocent
amid a skeptical and schemiug condition of
society’, to say “You are a daisy” is not
slang. It is forcible und elegant. The same
passage gave us the other word, meaning
the same thi ig, though sounding a little
harsher, “frash.” We often hear the ex
pression, “You’re ton fresh.” This, too,
was originally meant by Dickens to mea.i
an innocent ignorance of the ways of the
world. It v. as so used by Steerforth in
reterence to David Copperfield. But when
used to mean ttiat a person is impudent or
forward, as is too frequently the ca-e now,
it becomes slang, as such a meaning is in
reality senseless.
TOO THIN NOT SLANG.
“Too thin” is a two-worded phrase heard
in all classes of society’, by soma it is used
in a vulgar sense, and is objectionable slang;
by others it is used in the manner which
gave it to us as a good word. To say, when
speaking of an action, “Oh, that is too
thin,” is vulgar slang, because an action
can not be thin. But to say, when a per
son makes a statement which is calculated
to mislead. “Oh, that is too thin,” is not
slang. It was given currency by the Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens of (Jeorgia, in the
United States congress in 1870. Some
member hod made a reply to Mr. Stephens,
and the latter had his chair wheeled out in
the aisle and said in that shrill, piping
voice which always commanded silence:
“Mr. Speaker, the gentleman’s arguments
are gratuitous assertions made up of whole
cloth. And cloth, sir, so gauzy and thin
that it will not hold water. It is entirely
too thin, sir.
SEEKING BROTHER JONATHAN’S AID.
“Brot er Jonathan,” as a name for the
Unite 1 States, is much older than this, and
was given by Washington himself, though
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST U, 1880.
that individual had no idea rf makirg a
slang phrase for a name t' his country a>
the time. Jonathan 1 rumbull, governor of
Connecticut, furnished the struggling colo
nial army with funds and supplies on many
an occasion. One time the armv was in
sore distress and a consultation was held.
In the midst of it someone wondered what
wou:d be done. Washington answered:
‘ H ell, we’ll have to put it off till we can
see Brother Jon it iau,” as Gov. Trumbull
was called, “ho will help us out, I guess.”
And he did, and gave h.s name to the coun
try his zeal and patriotism helped to save.
AX INVENTION OF PROF. TYNDALL.
Thus it is that words are made and
phrases take oil anew meaning. In this
manner the language progresses bv accre
tion, as it were. Such words as take new
meanings from a custom are usually from
the comm >u people; that is, from those who
are not scholarly. It is iu this way that
old words drop out or take new meanings
and lose their old ones and now words take
their place. At first ino-t of the n are sln ig.
One of the best words wo have is “agnosti
cism,” yet its inventor. Prof. John Tyndall,
the great scientist, says that when he use t
it he had no idea it would be used again, or
that he would be understood in using it.
Ho could fiud no ot u-r. ho says, to convoy
an idea of bis religious belief iu answer to
tho request of some churchmen that, he tell
what lie did believe. Hence ho invented
“agnosticism,” meaning “the unknowable.”
It is only about 15 years old.
