Symphony in Slang

Via Moviegoods

I came across this funny short video called 'Symphony in Slang' a little while ago when I was browsing the Internet as usual. It's a Tex Avery cartoon from 1951 about a young man who is about to enter the gateway to Heaven but not before he leaves a record of his life to St Peter. As the title of the video reveals, the man's narrative is entirely filled with contemporary slang words and expressions. Flabbergasted by the fellow's "odd manners of speech", St Peter asks Noah Webster, the famous American lexicographer, to interpret the man's story, but without success. What follows is a series of scenes in which we see Webster's imagined literal understandings of the phrases.

How many slang expressions can you identify in the video, and do you know what they mean? Leave your comments below!
