Including Private Bill's Dictionary of Service Men's Chin Chatter created, compiled and produced by Harry "A" Chesler Features Syndicate. "During every historical crisis in the life of a country many things are evitably reborn - political power structures, art, music, the advancement of science, are but a few in the reconstruction of society. One element rarely thought of in conjunction with the upheaval is the birth of language. The Armed Forces of the United States of America since their inception have created thousands of slang expressions that have become part and parcel of our everyday lives. Some of these expressions have long been laugh producers in the Army, Navy, Air and Marine Corps, others have been added since Pearl Harbor. When our "Boys" take over Rome, the Romans will be "saying it" the American Way. That goes for Berlin and Tokyo too. To date, this book represents the American Serviceman's creation of U.S. Slanguage. Laugh and learn while you read." - Bill O. Lading. 68 pages, full color. Cover price $0.05.
