Bu NBA Berviee rr“Tl EW YORK, Feb. 6.—Urchin of American idiom, the ultiLI mate of license in language, ready-made wise crack foaany and ail occasions—that’s “So’swour old man.” Everybody’s saying it; nobody knows exactly why. From coast to coast it has “caught on,” according to Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly, noted dictionary editor,, and other New York etymologists. Probably it has been translated by now Into the Scandanavlan, Liberian and Esperanto. It echoes in ballroom and Bowery. **Pastors use it In the pulpit.

we begin to hear such nonsense as 'So’s your old man.’ ” Prof. Walter S. Pitkin of University hazards the supplementary analysis that wise cracks are the naional hobby of the day; that to those less nimble of original wisecracks sometimes aren’t forthcoming readily and that in such an exigency, "SB*s your old man” fills the bill. Hence the public fa or It enjoys. V But the days of "So’s your old man” are numbered, adds Dr. Vizetelly. This by the same Immutable law that sooner or later consigns popular songs to oblivion. “Two or three years ago,” illustrate* the dictionary expert, “we had an epidemic of so-called ‘flapper slang.’ We had ‘airedale’ for a man who was ugly and unprepossessing; ’mad money’ for a girl’s carfare home; ’dlmbox’ for any ,one who sought to patch up a quarrel; ‘snuggle pup’ for a frequenter of petting parties, and ‘alarm clock’ for a chaperon. v ‘‘You don’t hear this flapper slang any longer. The flappers are talking English again.” And where did "So's your old man" come from? From across the footlights, Dr. Vizetelly imagines. It’s in vaudeville
