slang-whanger

Dictionary of American Words And Phrases by John Russell Bartlett.

This curious word is defined by Mr. Pickering, as signifying "a writer or noisy talker, who makes use of that sort of political or other cant, which amuses the rabble, and is called by the vulgar name of slang." The word frequently occurs in Paulding's Salmagundi; but it is now seldom or never heard.
