Description
Excerpt from The Petroleum Dictionary
For a few months I was constantly astonished by the expressions that fell from the lips of near-infants Who had never known any life or language but that of the oil field. But gradually I came to accept the language as a legitimate and apt means of expression. Its freshness, its peculiarities, and its vividness. Fascinate me to this day.
