Herbie took many shortcuts in his speech, saying DUNNO, GIMME, GONNA, GOTTA, WANNA, and WOTTA.

  • DUNNO means "don't know".
  • GIMME means "give me".
  • GONNA means "going to".
  • GOTTA means "got to".
  • WANNA means "want to".
  • WOTTA means "what a".

Index terms: contractions, don't know, give me, going to, got to, want to, what a, Richard E. Hughes, Ogden Whitney

DUNNO... (Dad looks unusually angry and Herbie looks like he's on the verge of tears, but he's probably rubbing his eyes because he wants to sleep.)
