Sorrow

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

In one of the Simpsons books, Matt Groening has a series of articles listing and defining the slang of his schooldays. One of the words is "sorrow". Here's what he says:

sorrow: Sarcastic mispronunciation of the word "sorry", used in false apologies. I believe this slang term was unique to the boys in my sixth grade class. Example: "You broke my skateboard, man!" "Sorrow."

Many of the other terms he lists come from TV, books, or even Gilbert and Sullivan (grand pooh-bah (sic), the leader of their Komix Appreciation Klub), so it may have come from something one of them heard or read. Groening was born in 1954, so it's hard to know whether it came from Antonia Forest, perhaps via a parent, or whether Forest picked it up somewhere herself.

Have any Americans heard "sorrow" used like that?
