Apparently it's linguistic Friday. The folks over at Boing Boing have exhumed Slim Gaillard's Vout-O-Reenee Dictionary to help us all shed (learning) some retro me-lee-see (lingo). The promotional pamphlet is a lexicon of the jazzman's awesome and humorous patois. It's a perfect, hyphen-filled index for instant '30s street cred and affected incomprehensibility.
