The Uh Hangout Thing An Anthology

A HEADNOTE BY THE COMPILER:

The world’s oldest republic has been through much of late. People have suffered. Institutions have suffered. Laws have suffered. But no one, no thing, has suffered—has been worked over, walked on, poleaxed, stonewalled, assaulted, battered, deep-sixed, and discombobulated—as much as our constant companion, the English language. The compiler has determined that the exact point of maximum attack occurred during the “conversations” which have inspired this modest anthology.
