Bizarre - it seems to have gone, although I was able to view it a couple 
of hours ago. Anyway, here's a taste - How the Irish Invented Slang
The Bunkum of Bunkum (for Dizzy Gillespie)

http://www.counterpunch.org/cassidy07012006.html

On the address which no longer works there are several articles all of 
which centre on the role of Gaelic in the development of Jazz slang and 
other USA discursive practices. Many of the articles are by Daniel 
Cassidy, the author of the Counterpunch article.
