The American word "corker," mean ing a person or thlnu of Hiiperlutlve quality. In only a slang use of a legiti mate English word. Corker, In Its original sense, meant a conclusive ar gument, It probably originated from the finality which a cork thrust Into the month of a bottle flops all egress, ?orIngress of material In It. The relegation of the word as. used In Amciie.n to the limbo of slang by the dictionary writers has neither weakened the word nor limited Its use. The word "corker'' Is a perfectly good word. It expresses precisely a shade of meaning that needed to be expressed, And the chances are that It will he ii ward of good and regular standing long after .the lames of the last living dictionary writers have thoroughly blenched.?Milwaukee Sen tinel. \ Newspaper Accuracy.
