Eric Partridge
Eric Honeywood Partridge (6 February 1894 – 1 June 1979) was a New Zealand–British lexicographer of the English language, particularly of its slang. His writing career was interrupted only by his service in the Army Education Corps and the RAF correspondence department during World War II.
==Early life==
Partridge was born in Waimata Valley, near Gisborne, on the North Island of New Zealand〔 to John Thomas Partridge, a grazier, and his wife Ethel Annabella Norris.〔 In 1907 the family moved to Queensland, Australia,〔 where he was educated at the Toowoomba Grammar School.〔 He then studied first classics and then French and English at the University of Queensland.〔 During this time Partridge also worked for three years as a school teacher before enrolling in the Australian Imperial Force in April 1915 and serving in the Australian infantry during the First World War,〔 serving in Egypt, Gallipoli and on the Western Front,〔 before being wounded in the Battle of Pozières.〔 His interest in slang and the "underside" of language is said to date from his wartime experience.〔Partridge, E (edited by Paul Beale) (1986) ''A Dictionary of Catch Phrases:from the Sixteenth Century to the Present Day''. Routledge (See Preface to the First Edition p. ix)〕 Partridge returned to university between 1919 and 1921, when he received his BA.〔
