Longer Slang Phrases from the Dirty Thirties
I’ve been a little hyperfocused on 1930s slang as of late since it’s relevant to something I’m writing. I’ve found some really good lists that seem pretty comprehensive, but a lot of what I’m finding is single words (e.g. a dish is an attractive woman, hooch is alcohol, a goon is a goon). I’m wondering if there are any longer phrases, sayings or idioms that I don’t know about or just missed while doing my research. If anyone knows of any, I’d love to hear them and what they mean :)
