Hi folks, today we're going to take a closer look at some of the
popular slang used in the 1920's to describe popular people that
everyone wanted to know. Out list contains eight names - can you
think of any more? Reply in the comments below.
1. Big Egg & Butter Man - a man with a
sizeable bank account, who was able to provide for his lady.
2. Big Cheese - someone who was very
important.
3. Great on the Shindig - someone who really
knew his/her way around the dancefloor.
4. Jazz Hound - originally meant someone who
loved to dance, but recently has taken on a more jazz-related
meaning due to the growing trend of Jazz in the 1920's.
5. Bright Young Things - a term used to
describe trendsetters of the 1920's.
6. Sheik - a sexy, irresistible man.
7. Thrill - someone who was consider to be
popular and a good time to hand around with.
8. Jack - not a man, but money. Knowing a man
