"Fakta bahwa bahasa gaul sangat tepat dan kuat membuat penggunaannya sangat menggoda. Gaul kasar atau tidak senonoh ada di samping sasaran, tetapi "flivver," "taksi," "film", "mematikan" (artinya membosankan), "merasa bugar," "merasa biru," "pengrajin," a "palsu," "Aduh," "firasat" dan "benar o!" adalah khas dari kata-kata yang akan membuat bahasa lisan kita menjadi kaku untuk dikecualikan."
--- Emily PostVersi Bahasa Inggris
The fact that slang is apt and forceful makes its use irresistibly tempting. Coarse or profane slang is beside the mark, but "flivver," "taxi," the "movies," "deadly" (meaning dull), "feeling fit," "feeling blue," "grafter," a "fake," "grouch," "hunch" and "right o!" are typical of words that it would make our spoken language stilted to exclude.
