Flapper Slang

From a 1922 issue of Flapper magazine, a collection of slang used by people in the scene.

I may just be an airedale with a knack for apple sauce, sadly without a goof and far too much Father Time, but I think this list is pretty close to the monkey's eyebrows.


(On a more serious note, it's interesting to note the way the slang refers to traditional relationships.)

Food, glorious food

I should really let other people cook for me more often.

The home-cooked meal I bought in the Fringe fundraising auction was tonight. Improvised fusion Tibetan-Quebec cuisine. (Why not, we can make up whatever labels we want.)

Delightful food, lovely company, and weird coincidences. (Her ex-boyfriend lived in the house my grandad lived in when he moved to Montreal? That's odd.)

Great fun.
