This your forum for discussion. Although I will toss in questions, I will expect you to be the main contributors to the blog. You are expected to post and comment at least twice (1x each) every time we are in the lab as a class. Naturally, you are required to keep comments germane to the novel and to treat your classmates' opinions with respect. Have fun.

Yeah but tell you what?
That's interesting... Where was it used?? I don't remember....
I think Steinbeck was just humanizing the dialogue a little bit. Maybe it's kind of like the Dust Bowl Era's version of text message abbreviations...Laugh Out Loud (LOL). Slang has always been around.
