A change

[Wilson Gray]

 From time to time, I hear a line of the type, "Can, will, etc. you do
me _a_ solid?" on various TV shows. Back in the day of the hepcat, we
used to say, "Can, will, etc. you do me _some_ solid?" I haven't heard
the new version used in the negative, but the old bersion's negative
was, "No, I can't, won't, etc. do you no solid." There was also the hep
expression, "Solid, Jackson!" or just "Solid!" used as a strong
affirmative.
