(By mall) Amorl- cans think they are some Wis when it comes to allnghtg slang, tint the British Tommy Isn't so worse him self when heists his bean to work ing along slangologtoal lines. What Is patter than "Bmma-Qse" for a machine gun, tor Instance? Or "O-Pip" for as observation post? On must admit that there's some class to these terms and while you-ve got your gogglers on this column just take it from me that there's more pep of the same mustard y stan dard where this came from. A "whUe-baag" la a shell ot such high velocity that Us whlas and Us bang are almost simultaneous. A "dud" Is a shell which falls to ex plode. A bun handout is a "dud" meal and a gink with a bone head Is a "dud" bo. The tip you got on the fitly that was backed off the boards by the other nags on tbe back stretch, was a "dud" smoke. A trench mortar Is a "Joe-Emma" and the tbig black ball at high ex plosive the Germans rwply with Is a "plum pudding." An antiaircraft gun is an "Archibald" or an "Ar chie." while the German shell which bursts with a fussy yellow puff of smoke Is a "wooly bear." To the English Tommy a German Is a "Frits" and Frits" he is to the Canadians. The Scotch call him an "Allyman" (probably after the French "Allemand"), but he is no body of the Irish but a . "Jerry." A British staff officer Is a "brass hat' perhaps tocause of the gold braid on his cap, and Tommy's own headgear, the steel helmet he must wear inside the shell area, is a "tin hst." Another name given the stsff of ficers Is the "lilies' supposedly on the theory that they toll not. "Blighty" Is England, and "going to IMIghty" you can Just 4iet your last specimen of spondulix, Is a "lit tle bit or all right." A "Blighty" Is a small wound which rovslld you home. A serious wound Is not a 'Wlghty" for the very simple res son that It puts a crimp in your traveling capacity snd gives you bil lets In a front sick-bay. If the wound Is 'very bad, so bad that stim ulants are necessary before you are operated, you will go to "Resurrec tion Ward." "Ach-Kmma" Is morning. "Plp Kmma" Is afternoon. And night Is not Infrequently called "Sawer" which Is one way to pronounce the French word "solr.v When a thing Is all gone It's "no-poo" another assault and battery, with mayhem, on the Frencais. A group of mobile batteries, which turns raatle-daisle on Frits or Jerry or Allyman, first at one part ot the line then at another Is called a traveling circus." A battle, a raid, or any operation against the enemy of a similar nature. Is a "show." A "dud show" means that the stunt did not "come-off" In . plain English the attackers pulled a lemon. When Tommy says "Frits got his wind up" he means he suffered n sttsrk of frspped pedal extremities. The guns of largest caliber are "Grandpas." The next largest are "Grandmas," Of course "Daddy" Is next and . "Mother" next and "I'ncle." "Aunty" and the "kids" fol low lowt the scale plum to "baby." The kids have all sorts of names: Willie. Harry. Sally. Polly, Mamie, Little Lit, snd such, just as the gun ners fancy happened to strike.
