Excerpt from Current Americanisms: A Dictionary of Words and Phrases in Common Use We have everything in common with the United States, Mr. Oscar Wilde says, "except, of course, the language." The paradox is daring, but not altogether extravagant. A very considerable number of words, phrases, and conventional metaphors are not shared in common by the two brother nations; and a still larger number of such expressions have been coined in America and gradually adopted here. It is an indisputable fact that America is more fertile in neologisms than the old country, and in these days of easy steamer transit, the importation of such words and expressions is inevitable. Many of them have found so hospitable a welcome, that they are with difficulty recognisable as Americanisms. Among the most potent influences which have determined this blending of tongues, must be included the currency which American humour has obtained here. There are literally scores of English comic (or alleged comic) papers which subsist almost entirely on the crumbs which fall from the table of the trans-Atlantic joker; and two American humorous journals (Texas Siftings and The Detroit Free Press have actually published special editions in London, though the former is now "dead." Under these circumstances it is not very surprising that numberless Americanisms have found their way into ordinary, if not into educated speech, and it is a wise word which knows its own fatherland.
