A couple of my favorites from Slang of the 1920′s:
- All Wet – describes an erroneous idea or individual, as in, “he’s all wet.”
- Baloney – nonsense!
- Dame – a female
- Dead soldier – an empty beer bottle
- Dolled up – dressed up
- Glad rags – “going out on the town” clothes
- Hayburner – (1) a gas guzzling car (2) a horse one loses money on
- Hit on all sixes – to perform 100 per cent; as “hitting on all six cyclinders”
- Wet Blanket – a solemn person, a killjoy
