Guesstimate (1904, 1928); Shrimp Wiggle (1904, 1907)

   2004--a century of "guesstimate" and "shrimp wiggle."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GUESSTIMATE

   It's a little earlier now (I had posted the second cite below, where it
was "coined"), but it may have been re-invented.

:
   "ALL the same," declares the Troy (N. Y.) Times, "the census estimate is
undoubtedly more reliable than Chicago guesswork."  Out here it is considered
merely a census guesstimate.

SHRIMP WIGGLE

   Oh, those naughty shrimp!
   I'd posted on naked shrimp, dancing shrimp, and singing shrimp, so it's
time to take another look at the shrimp wiggle.  Sure enough, the Chicago
Tribune is first.

MRS. E H LOWE. Chicago Daily Tribune (1872-1963). Chicago, Ill.: Dec 29,
1907. p. F3 (1 page) :
   A good Sunday night tea dish is a shrimp wiggle with sandwiches.  Pour one
pint rich milk or cream into your chafing dish.  When near boiling point
thicken with one tablespoon flour rolled into one of butter.  Add one can or one
pint fresh shrimps.  Stew four minutes.  Add one-fourth can green peas.  Boil
up once and serve on squares of hot buttered toast.
   Sandwiches to accompany above: Pour one-half pint boiling water on one
package pineapple jello on Saturday and pour it into a square, shallow mold.
When ready for your sandwiches set the mold for an instant into boiling water.
Invert on a dish and slice with a warm knife.  Place each slice between two of
nut bread cut thin and trim off the uneven sides.
   Another good filling for sandwiches is made of one roll of neufchatel
cheese mixed with one tablespoonful of white bar le duc jelly.  Spread this
mixture between thin slices of white bread, buttered.
