The year 1949 was full of slang words. "Bum rap" meant someone was being falsely accused of a crime. "Gas" wasn't what you put in your car, but was in reference to a laugh or having a good time.

Slang terms in 1949 included "hip," meaning fashionable or cool, "dig it," meaning to understand or appreciate something, and "cat," referring to a person who is hip or cool. Other popular slang terms included "jive," meaning to deceive or taunt, and "daddy-o," a way to address someone informally.
