Gams - A woman’s legs October 11, 2006

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
