Stopped at the silent generation not having much slang. Never saw a film noir or read a Raymond Chandler book. They practically invented slang. And not “daddy o”.

“That was a waste of two minutes.”

HaHa! True, but it took me a little longer because I had to re-read a few of those weird terms.

Thee war years had lots of slang (1940-45) Ever Hear of Klang Slang? “Your Cooking with Gas.” (means you got it all together). “Eggs” (means Bombs) Kites (War planes). Not to mention all sorts of negative dehumanizing names for the enemy (They had names for us as well) Giving negative nicknames for an enemy is as human as war itself. I am sure Ancient Egyptian soldiers had special names for their Hittite foes. We called Japanese “Slant eyes” and they returned the favor and call us “Round Eyes.” The oddest term the Japanese used for Americans was translated as “Canned food.” Some may still call us that.

Yes, I found it ‘awesome’ that ‘awesome’ was not mentioned.
