Interesting collection of slang words mixed into that list.
If genuine and genuine-but-misspelled non-English words are
slang, why aren't genuine English words also slang?

It must be too early in the morning, Derek. For lolly, look at the
first word of the fourth line in the listing in .1.

| 1189.6 | Hello dolly | MKTCRV::MANNERINGS | | Mon Apr 07 1997 13:16 | 8 |
| yep, I suppose dolly is a mix of dough and lolly.
Dolly is also the name of the cloned sheep which made the news
recently.
It is also a girl's name, but I don't know what it is short for.

>> It is also a girl's name, but I don't know what it is short for.
sometimes Deloris, sometimes Dorothea, most often just a nickname.
it was Dolley Madison.
back to .0, where did you encounter the use?
might it be cockney rhyming slang?
