American Film Musicals ENG 436

Yes, I knew it was a 400 level class, but it is about musicals! I will enjoy watching all kinds of movies this semester (If you don't know, I'm not a big t.v. or movie person, but I LOVE musicals.) Today we watched 42nd street during class. Then, I got this assignment...my first paper topic seems a little daunting:

About the Comedy and Comic Neologisms that appear in the script and song lyrics of The Wizard of Oz”
BTW, what does comic neologisms mean? Anyone?

too funny. I have no idea what you are supposed to be doing with that. Good Luck, but I did lookup the word Neologisms! I found definition #2 funny: "a meaningless word coined by a psychotic" I don't know what that is saying about your teacher... but it doesn't sound good

Questions like that are the exact reason I didn't go go college. Kidding. Try googling it. I got my degree from the University of Google.

Maybe I have a mental disorder, but I make up neologisms all of the time. Or I am a genious and people just aren't at my level yet.

PS, you aren't allowed to choose between the two.

Yeah, good luck with that one. I'll ask Jake for you...he is a total know-it-all when it comes to writing. For real. ;)
