Thread Name: Oscar Wilde
Subject: RE: Oscar Wilde
Haven't heard of the Wild Oscars, but in Glasgow rhyming slang, someone departing the company will often say, "See you Oscar." This refers neither to Oscars Wilde nor Wild, but to one Oscar Slater, who was hung for murder. See you Oscar (Slater) = See you later!
