“It is still in considerable vogue, and the enquirer will at times hear⟳ some good examples—though the chances are a hundred to one against his ever understanding them. A couple which were interpreted for my benefit were: "Hi, yob, kool that enif elrig with the nael ekom. Sap her a top of reeb and a tib of occobat," and "Islema, ogda the opperca." After the reader has sufficiently puzzled over these hieroglyphics he or she may be glad to learn⟳ that the quotations respectively mean⟳: "Hi, boy, look⟳ at that fine girl with the lean⟳ moke. Pass⟳ her a pot of beer and a bit of tobacco," and "Misle, dog the copper!"”

“I see⟳ you've had an elrig hanging round your stall.”
