What is a 50's slang word that is equivalent to groovy?

The 50's word that would fit "groovy" as in "cool" or "awesome" today would be probably "boss" or a cool place would be "fat city" That shirt is boss cuz. Your house is Fat City, i love the 400 car garage. That's probably more of an early 60s term. A more 50ish term might be "keen" or "neato."

What is chu nom?

Chữ Nôm (𡨸喃) was a script used in Vietnam to record the native Vietnamese language during some time around 1000 AD to as recently as the 1950s and 60s. It combines Chinese characters with ones that were systematically coined by the Vietnamese elites to represent Vietnamese words not present in Chinese. Most of the Nom characters were created using the common blending technique of a semantic (meaningful) component with a phonetic (sound) component. It has since been replaced by a Latin-based alphabet script.


What are common slang words of the 30's?

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: http://www.paper-dragon.com/1939/slang.html
