WRITER'S DIGEST (continued)

   The RHHDAS doesn't cite any of these WRITER'S DIGEST slang lists!  Also
add "Australian Slang," WRITER'S DIGEST, November 1942, pg. 62.
   I could retype all the lists on ADS-L if people wish.

ROBERT GOVER NOVELS

   I didn't find "the whole nine yards" in his novels, but I found lots of
good stuff from the 1960s.  I'll try to look for that phrase when I check the
LOS ANGELES FREE WEEKLY in the NYPL later this week.
