<br>
<br>    Here are a few more references for slang "beard":
<br>
<br>1) Tony Thorpe, _The Dictionary of Contemporary Slang_, (NY: Pantheon
<br>Books), 1990, p.3l:  'BEARD--a male escort posing as a boyfriend, lover,
<br>husband, etc.  The term (heard from the mid-1970s in showbiz and "society"
<br>circles) may refer to a lesbian's "official" partner, with whom she is seen
<br>in public.'
<br>
<br>2) Tom Dalzell, _Flappers 2 Rappers_, (subtitle): _American Youth Slang_,
<br>(Springfield, Mass.: Merriam-Webster), 1996, p.68: 'A 1950s WORD LIST:
<br>...BEARD, a nice, smart guy.'
<br> [G. Cohen : This "beard" does not seem to be relevant to "beard" in its
<br>modern slang sense.]
<br>
<br>3) Tom Dalzell, _op. cit._, p.111: 'A MAINSTREAM 1960s WORD LIST: ...
<br>BEARDED--tricked.'

<br>Subject: Nine-to-Five
<br>
<br>     I had previously posted a 1940s citation on "nine-to-five" (another
<br>business term), but no results come up on the ADS-L archives search engine.
<br>I've had several frustrating non-results with ADS-L's archives.
<br>     BUSINESS WEEK of 11 January 1936, pg. 25, has a Smith-Corona typewriter
<br>ad:
<br>
<br>"Mary Grey," as played by Miss Lucille Wall in the Smith-Corona radio program
<br>"Nine to Five"--Thursdays 7:15 p.m., E. S. T., Blue NBC Network.
