Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Americanisms: A Glossary of Words and Phrases Usually Regarded as Peculiar the United States The first edition of this Dictionary was published in New York in 1848. It met with a quick sale, and soon passed out of print. Aware of its many imperfections, I began my preparations for a new edition before it had fully left the press. From that time to the day the last sheets of this edition left my hands for the printer, now ten years, I have been more or less occupied in its preparation. Nearly three years of this period I spent in the interior of the country, in the service of the United States as Commissioner on the Mexican Boundary; but even there, I failed not to note the peculiarities of the familiar language of the frontier, and carefully recorded the words and phrases I met with for future use. This experience enabled me to collect the singular words occurring in prairie and frontier life as well as those com mon to Texas, New Mexico, and California. Most of these have come from the Spanish, and are now fairly engrafted on our language. The other alterations and improvements made in this edition, consist in the addition of a very large number of words and phrases peculiar to the United States; so that it now contains probably twice as many as the first edition. The examples or illustrations from authors, showing the use of words, have also been greatly multiplied. This seemed desirable, as exam ples convey a far more correct idea of their meaning and use than a simple definition. The. Histories of words and their definitions have also been corrected and improved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compiled together in this volume is the complete text of the 4th Edition (1877) of the Dictionary of Americanisms by John Russell Bartlett (which at 870 pages is 300 pages and several hundred entries larger than the 570 pages of the 2nd or 3rd Edition) and New Americanisms by Sylva Clapin (minus the superfluous word list appendix). Numerous Publisher Notes have been inserted into the text to clarify and explain words, phrases, people and events for a modern reader not conversant with those times. This is not a copy and paste job or a cheap scan; there are no missing pages, areas of blurred or obscured text, or a grey background to any of the pages. The entire work has been re-typed and formatted to produce an educational and eminently readable book of well over 475,000 words. The appendices on slang words and dialects are also included in full, with a new table of contents, references and Publisher's Foreword. This book contains terms and words from the era of the Slave Trade that some readers may find offensive. Please do not purchase if that is the case.

It was odd to come upon this thick crop of an obsolete and uncomely fashion; it was like running suddenly across a forgotten acquaintance whom you had supposed dead for a generation.--Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi, p. 213. Goater.--A thief's term for dress. Go-down.--Of squatter origin. A go-down is a cutting in the hilly bank of a stream for enabling animals to cross it or to get to the water. Goldam.--By Goldam --A Yankee form of swearing, as also are Goloarned and Goldasted. 'Bill, are you hurt?' 'Yes, by gum; I've broke my Goldarned neck.'--American Humorist, 18S8. ' Finally Deacon Spalding broke out with: 'That Goldasted St. Louis mugwump has made suckers of us again with his cracks about coming into the league. I move we adjourn.--Cincinnati Enquirer, 1888. Golden Circle.--Knights Of The Golden Circle.--An organization formed among Copperheads (q.v.) at the North during the Civil War, to aid in the rescue of Confederate prisoners held by the United States. Also one of the alleged names of the Ku-KluxKlan. Golden City.--San Francisco, otherwise 'Frisco. Gold having been found in California in large quantities, the sobriquet is not, as sometimes is the case, altogether inappropriate. Gobsticks (Cant).--Under this curious name silver forks and spoons are known. "Gob" in English slang signifies the mouth. A very similar derivative is gobstrings for a bridle. Go-cart.--A hand-cart. Godfathers (Cant).--A flash name for "gentlemen of the jury," because in giving their verdict they name the degree of crime, first, second, third, etc., with which the accused is charged.--See Murder In First Degree. Golden Eye (Bucephala americana).--A wild grey duck, which is more popularly known as the Whistler ...
