Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 00:50:28 -0500 From: Jim Crotty Subject: Birthday and Christmas slang I still haven't taken my sabbatical.... The "gasper" discussion roped me back in.... Question for yunz: does anyone know of any Happy Birthday slang?... For example, alternate ways of saying "Happy Birthday" in different parts of the country.... Or birthday-related slang in general.... Also, looking for Christmas-related slang.... Thanks (Ralph) Bunche...
