The lost Model A vocabulary
I was thinking today about words and phrases that were common in the Model A era, and how they have all but disappeared from our everyday language. For example:
Tin Lizzy Flivver Oh You Kid! Swell So's yer old man Flapper Shingle-bob haircut Jalopy Bowler (hat) Cat's Meow Cat's Pajamas Cat's Whiskers Hootch Gat Spats Swank (and Swanky) I'm sure there are others. Anybody want to share what they remember?
