Which phrase is an example of Kerouac using slang

as part of his informal diction?

As we rode in the bus in the weird

phosphorescent void of the Lincoln

Tunnel we leaned on each other with

fingers waving and yelled and talked

excitedly, and I was beginning to get the

bug like Dean. He was simply a youth

tremendously excited with life, and

though he was a con-man, he was only

conning because he wanted so much to

live and to get involved with people who

would otherwise pay no attention to him.

- On the Road, Jack Kerouac
