RANGER COOKIES (continued)

   I forgot to check Newspaperarchive.
   FWIW: Every Newspaperarchive "chilighetti" hit is from the 1970s.

NACATAMAL

NACATAMALES--993 Google hits, 202 Google Groups hits

   I briefly looked into Nicaraguan materials at the NYPL today.  The revised OED (now well into the letter "n") doesn't have this?  There will be _no_ explanation anywhere of the regional tamale names--even though they're also used by English speakers?

(GOOGLE)
http://www.culinary-cooking-schools-institutes.com/history_tamales.html
   The different regional names for tamales are:

Nicaragua
Nacatamal

Guatemala
Paches and Chuchitos

Bolivia and Ecuador
Humita

Columbia
Bollo

Cuba, Mexico, South and Central America
Tamal

Michoacan, Mexico
Corunda

Veracruz, Mexico
Zacahull

Venezuela
Hallaca


MANAGUA (One in a series of pamphlets on Central America--ed.)
Pan American Union, Washington, D. C.
1945
Pg. 12:  One of the attractions of the business section is the large market on Calle Central, a block east of Avenida Roosevelt.  Practically all the products of Nicaragua are to be found here.  One may buy pork and poultry and such staples as beans, rice, tortillas, and frijoles, and the Nicaraguan form of hot tamales, _nacatamales_, which are deliciously cooked in banana leaves.

SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS

   I was just reading SOCKS ON A ROOSTER: LOUISIANA'S EARL K. LONG (1967) and it says that the Longs went to the School of Hard Knocks.  OED has "School of Hard Knocks" from 1912 (George Ade).  The CASSELL DICTIONARY OF SLANG has "20C."

MEXICAN STRAIGHT

   The HDAS has 1928 for a "Mexican flush," but no "Mexican straight."  The CASSELL DICTIONARY OF SLANG has "20C."


SOCKS ON A ROOSTER:
LOUISIANA'S EARL K. LONG
by Richard B. McCaughan
Baton Rouge: Claitor's Book Store
1967
Pg. 182:  Long telephoned David Rankin and invited the boy to visit him in Louisiana.  Long related:

   If he stays here--Baton Rouge--any time he wants to go home, he can go.  That kid is smart.  You know, he beat me once in a poker game with a Mexican straight.* ... Mexican straight; that's not all you learn while you're in Texas.**

* A Mexican straight is 2-4-6-8-10.
** _Morning Advocate_, July 2, 1959, p. 10-A.
