Keen!
I am fascinated by this list of 1930s American Slang.
As I love crime novels and historical novels, much of the slang was either familiar to me or made sense. Although there were some words that even I–who use the word Trollop on a regular basis–found strange. “togged to the bricks” and “skin tickler” just sound weird, even when compared to “shake a leg” and “big house”.
But I am sure that this list will come in handy at some point.
