1920s Slang???

on August 24, 2011 at 2:26 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 9

Hey Ladies!

I know it's late/early (depending on how you look at it!) But I thought maybe we could have some fun with this!

I am going to put a small 1920s slang dictionary on the back of my menus. I have looked up 1920s slang and got SOOOOOO many! What are some that you ladies can come up with that would make the party fun!?!

I'm interested to see what we get!

P.S.- No need to keep it clean! ;-)
