Fast Talker: So I breeze in with a beef to the boss, see. When that girl Friday, here, starts dishin' out that old song and dance about a conference. Well, I give her the works, see. But, right now, I said, "Listen, sister, no dizzy dame is gonna give this big boy the runaround, you understand?"

Passing Parade

American Spoken Here (1940)

*** (out of 4)

Passing Parade short looks at American slang and asks whether it's good or bad. We get to hear where certain slang terms came from and these include "Fink", " mind your P's and Q's", "kick the bucket" and "I don't give a damn". It's funny to see how much new slang is around to day and I'm sure the debate on if it's good or not would be just as strong today as it was back when this film was released. I thought this was a pretty good short that tells several interesting stories as to where these terms came from. Perhaps someone who already knew this stuff would find this boring but it was new to me. I really enjoyed the "Fink" story, which of course is a man who is mean enough that he'd kill his best friend. The western settings were nicely done and the shooting contest had some nice drama.
