I was first introduced to Cab Calloway on Sesame Street at a very early age. I was immediately fascinated and after re-watching the Sesame Street clip (#4 above) it is easy to understand why. What kid wouldn't like that?!? I went around singing my own version of the Hi De Ho Man for weeks! The dictionary is awesome and I think that we should immediately start using fraughty, fromby, guzzlin' foam, trickeration and trilly in normal conversation. I think I'll start with guzzlin' foam. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite websites! Next can someone do a piece about the lingo of the old west? I know that I read somewhere that there is a whole category of long words like hornswoggled and absquatulate that westerners made up to make fun of the highfalutin easterners. My own meager attempts to verify this or find more words has come up short, but I can't get it out of my brain. Wow!!! I was first introduced to Cab Calloway on Sesame Street at a very early age.
