friday afternoon, alone in the lab. waiting for one experiment to finish, so the weekend can begin. perusing TweetsofOld, 'extracted tidbits from old newspapers'. my favorites:
[The New York Mail reports that cultured Boston people describe fish-balls as "piscatorial globes." KY 1883]
[The latest slang is "slim." A slim is a dude, a slimette is a dudine. KY 1883]
[Mr. John Hieber, of Etna, has had quite a full experience in the way of being shot Tuesday last. PA 1885]
in future, please refer to me as 'slimette'. or 'dudine'; i can't decide.
