So, I was looking for authentic slang from the 1920's-1940's, and I found this website! :) It is rather fun to go through, and I am finding it to be helpful!

You are quite welcome! :) Although whoever edits my SM might not be entirely happy about my discovery... I'm using it quite a bit and even had to add a character who translates the slang! ;)

Hehehe I love that list, some of the words mentioned are still used a lot over here nowadays.
Oasis came to mind when I saw 'What's the story morning glory' :D
