Washington Patter Why'n't ya come up sometime, should be said in a low and guttural tone a la Mae West, and if you must say it, be as alluring as possible while doing it. It may be employed for any- thing from getting your man to slam- ming a teacher. Chicken, was formerly used to 'de- note a fowl, then a young girl, but now it merely means that you're yellow, cowardly, or what have you. Be very scornful while saying it. He can take it, should be uttered in a knowing voice, and you might also add, And he can dish it out. It's like this. If you can take it, you're very good, but if you can dish it out, you're all right. A Duck Dinner, comes from our old A 5540099 OLIVE GREEN, said young ASH GRAY, Would you deliberately be un- faithful to me? I am ETCHING to know if the BLACK tales I heard about you and WATER COLOR are true. Why, ASH, cried OLIVE, Don't you know it WOOD CUT me to the heart to do such a thing ? Well, grumbled ASH, it made me MADDER than anything. Just the same, OLIVE, I WATER PROOF of your fidelity. I must be sure that your CARMINE lips and your BLUE eyes are for me alone. With that, ERASED her to her feet and pushed her out into the OPAQUE night. Oh, sobbed OLIVE, as she stumbled t h r o u g h the BLOCING snow, He CLAYS me. He has VARNISHED me from his heart forever.

Use it to mean, He just doesn't rate with me. Unfortunately, that also can be vice versa. I didn't knoooooow that is swiped from Joe Penner, along Oh, you nawsty man, and You vicious wom- an. If you can say those as Joe does, you're practically made. Griped, means generally disgrun- tled. They say the expression is grow- ing a beard, but high school still seems to go for it. Romance NESS. WATER COLOR PALETT-ly informed him that he had had nothing to do with the girl. Now it was ASH'S turn to feel sad. HSHELLACED me, and I CUT her dead, he mourned. So he made his way OCHRE the country side in search of OLIVE GREEN. To everyone he came upon, he would say: Have you seen OLIVE GREEN? That's what I COLOR, but she's mighty LACQUER ROSE. He finally approached a small village. He saw the WHITE STIPPLE of the church looming against the INDIGO of the sky. He suddenly noticed a girl crying VIOLET-ly by the road side. He went over to her, lifted her head, and found himself gazing into the eyes of his PERSPECTIVE bride. OLIVE, he cried. ASH, she marvelled, and they em- braced each other long and FIXATIF-ly.
