failing DARE vol. required, "sluff" (likely a sp. pron. of "slough" as in

the serpent its skin) reminds me of ca 1950 Montana: "slope" "slope off" with

the same meaning, but used by railroad workers rather than truant beavises,

according to older friends from that region. Does "slope" show up on

anyone's scanner?
