Slang phrases from the 1920's

[Rogar]

A fun list of 59 slang phrases from the 1920's that maybe we should use again. Some are still around, but most I only vaguely recognize from old movies.

I like to use old slang. Some I got from my grandmother are 'get a wiggle on' meaning hurry up, 'go outside and get the stink off ya' meaning go play for us a kids or just go away and 'cut a rug' meaning to dance.

Funny. I haven't heard any of those before except for makin' whoopie. Of course most seem to describe women and booze - ah the 1920's, when men were cake eaters, women were tomatoes and everyone was spiffilicated :-)
