"Symphony in Slang" is a 1951 cartoon short directed by Tex Avery and released by MGM. Minimalist and abstract in style (many of the "gags" are created either with single, still frames or oversimplified animation), it tells the story of a man who finds himself at the Pearly Gates explaining his life story to a bewildered Saint Peter and Noah Webster using contemporary slang. The majority of the short is made up sight gags based on Peter and Webster's imagined, literal understandings of such phrases as "I couldn't cut the mustard" and "Outside it was raining cats and dogs."
