Vintage Slang

This is 1920s slang for your mouth, as in "I punched him right in the kisser."

Tringum trangum refers to either a maggot or a whim.

A flat cap is sometimes called a sixpence because it became popular among working-class men in the early 20th century who would commonly store a sixpence coin in the hat's lining for good luck. The term likely originated from this association with the coin.

"Cabbage patch" refers to a specific type of doll called a Cabbage Patch Kid. The name comes from the concept that these dolls are "born" from a cabbage patch. The dolls were popular in the 1980s and are known for their unique appearance and adoption certificates.

In the 1950's, hop was slang for a dance party or social gathering where music and dancing were a central focus. It was a term commonly used to describe informal events where young people would gather to have a good time.

"Don't sweat it" was a slang expression in the 1950s that meant "not to worry."

Huh. I was gonna answer you that you were incorrect, hooch is slang only for booze, liquor. But you got the jump on me, as somebody once said somewhere [I've been answering slang questions all night]. You are correct. I am wrong. On the other hand, I do have your answer. It comes from the Viet Nam War and is also sometimes spelled hootch. It means a simple hut or small homely house, either civilian or military.

Delightfully, you have spelled this word correctly. I would think that these and phlegm are more or less equivalents--while static, that is. In actual use, however, it is more likely that one would fling loogies as one hacked them whilst one would merely hack up phlegm. In other words, if it isn't projectile it is not a loogie. Hope it helps.

Some common slang words from the 1930s include "bee's knees" (meaning excellent), "hooch" (illicit alcohol), "giggle water" (alcohol), and "dame" (woman).

i know that chola is a slang word used alot in texas. it means a ganster chick that usually wears baggy jeans, plaid shirts, big earrings, and gets her eyebrows tattooed on. they're always ready for a fight

A crab apple is a small sour fruit that looks like a smaller version of the familiar fruit the apple. They are sound on the small trees and shrubs of these species of plants:

Malus angustifolia, Southern crab, native to southeastern USA

M. baccata, Siberian crab, native to northern Asia

M. coronaria, American wild apple, native to central USA

M. floribunda, Japanese crab, native to Japan

M. fusca, Oregon crab, native to western USA

M. sylvestris, European crab, native to Europe

Oh, but there is so much. Asking this question is like asking about the slang from now and expecting to get a four word answer. And even in the 50s, even without the internet or cable or, really, anything that would provide mass transmission of, really, much of anything other than via the simplest airwaves--still, still language changed as it does now, at a rapid rate. Anyway, one of the best places to find your answer would be:

Among which, under only the letter T, I found:

Tank - A large sedan (usually driven by parents)

That's close - Something wrong or not true

Think Fast - Usually said right before someone threw something at you

Threads - Clothes

Tight - Good friends

Total - To completely destroy, most often in reference to a car

and, of course, there is far more under the other letters. Not only that, but there are more slang sites to explore if you only, you know, do it.

Being called "jazzy" typically means that someone finds you stylish, cool, or unique in a way that is reminiscent of the characteristics associated with jazz music - such as improvisational, lively, and sophisticated. It's a compliment indicating a certain flair or charm in your personality or appearance.

Find something else to entertain yourself and get your mind off eating. Whever you think about eating and you don't want that, tap your fingers on your arm or sing your favorite song or someting like that. u shudn't but if you wanted to then just read a book or play computer (Just keep yourself on the go) :)

Some people consider it to be, yes. Others, no. It also (perhaps obviously) depends on the context.

If you are referring to the food, then the answer is no.

If you are referring to a part of the male anatomy, then yes, sometimes.

But typically it is a very mild bad word (at least in the US), and can even seem old fashioned. If you want a word with a similar old fashioned flavor that is never considered rude, try "rats."

Hotsy-totsy is a term that is used to show approval of something.

It doesn't have any specific meaning, it's just a rude gesture. It's generally regarded as more childish and therefore slightly less offensive than "flipping the bird" (which does have a fairly specific meaning).

A slang term used to describe someone who knows some law but is not an attorney is "armchair lawyer." This term is often used to refer to individuals who have a basic understanding of legal concepts and like to discuss legal matters informally.

"SR" in slang can stand for a variety of things, including "sir," "so really," or "sensitivity reader." It can vary depending on the context in which it is used.

It's not sa as much as it's s.a. In Spanish it's spelled 'ese.' It literally means 'that' [thing or concept, masculine]. It's mildly disrespectful, and can be highly disrespectful, depending on the status of the person on whom it's used. However, when used among friends, it's like saying, "Dude!" or "Bro'!"

When someone says you are "so ghetto," they are often making a derogatory comment implying that you exhibit behaviors or characteristics associated with low-income urban areas. This can be offensive as it may perpetuate stereotypes and overlook the diversity within urban communities.

"Pipe down" means to be quiet or to stop talking. It is often used as an informal way of telling someone to be quiet or to calm down.

The slang word "twelves" for keys likely comes from the police code "10-12," which signifies that law enforcement officers have their car keys. Over time, this code may have evolved into the slang term "twelves" for keys.
