OP Chapman was the author of "A Dictionary of American Slang," published in 1960. I wasn't familiar with the man or his work until I came across a short item in the newspaper that made the statement I posted. I'm not prepared to defend it, having no information on his methodology. Your list of most-used words casts reasonable doubt on his conclusions. Unfortunately, the 43 words were not included in the article.
