DUKIE (OR DOOKIE)

At the rate that I keep finding so-called alternate dictionaries I'll never be qualified for a copyright violation for reproducing excessive material from one source. I think this is the 60th book that I now own and that's probably way too many for any one stooge. Such is my life. 

As for the book itself, since I already own the earlier edition of Mr. Chapman's book American Slang I will cross reference the two and make sure that used words used in the latter edition didn't appear in the original.

DUKIE

n outdated carnival A meal ticket 2 n A box lunch



from the New Dictionary of American Slang by Robert L. Chapman
