Vintage 40's week: Day 3: 40's Slang

Well hi-de-do everyone!!

What's buzzin cousin?!

So the 1940's were definitely interesting... and also had interesting slang
Some phrases are actually funny when you hear them today and some are actually still used so here are some phrases used in the 40's... Read them and have fun with them, you can either use them while talking to your grandmother OR (my personal favorite) you can dress up as someone from the forties , use the slang and convince a total stranger that you time-traveled through an undercover government project and you were supposed to go back in time and stop Hitler from ever getting to power and thus saving millions of lives but something went wrong and you ended up in the future instead.... That's bound to freak someone out [ or get you arrested :P :P ]
But I'm running wild with my ideas here... Here are the phrases:

Fuddy Duddy = Old fashioned person
In cahoots with = Conspiring with
Snap your cap = Get angry
Above my pay grade = Don't ask me
Killer-diller = Good stuff
Cook with gas = To do something right
Lettuce = Money
What's buzzin cousin? = How's it going?
Stompers = Shoes
Flip you wig = To lose control of yourself
Pennies from heaven = Easy money
Who's the Jane? = Who's that girl?
That's keen! = That's cool!
Washington = One dollar bill
Lincoln = Five dollar bill
Are you ready hezzie? = Ready to go?
Hubba hubba = well...you guys know what that means :D :D
Holy Moley! = Holy s*** !!
Shucks! 
Good grief!
Swell = Good, well, nice, ok
Neat!
Threads = Clothes
Ginned up = Dressed up
Togged to the bricks = Dressed in the best clothes
City slicker = City dandy
Hep cats = Swing dancers , music lovers (male)
Hep kittens = Swimg dancers, music lovers (female)


Well, Good grief! That's a lot of swell 40's phrases! [Do I sound cheesy? I thought so too] 
Any way.. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and tomorrow we will be getting to the real juice starting with 40's Skincare So stay tuned :D :D


Lots of love
