As ever, slang dictionaries--incomplete though they are--are an easy commodity to find, for free, on the internet. I'm gonna give you some words and then I'm gonna give you a link to fill out your program, as it were, as it is, a little better:

Both these words and this resource, I think, are pretty good. It's always hard to tell with period stuff, however--the online slang resources covering eras I remember at all [late 60s, 70s, 80s and forward] always are finely riddled with error. The older ones, though, seem to be worked by people who are more circumspect. Anyway, here are some terms I remember from reading:

• butter and egg man=money man

• blinkers, lamps, shutters, peepers=eyes

• blow your wig=get all excited

• frail, doll, twist, muffin, kitten=chick, broad, dame, woman

• buzzer=police badge

• cinder dick=railroad cop

• murder!=yow!

I hope it helps. Here's the link--like I said, it's pretty good. Such a wilder language then than now. Then again, no cable, had to make one's own good time:
