Chuckleheads? The last time I saw that word was in a historical document from the 1890s.

I think "chucklehead" is a great word. Hope it comes back into use.

Here's a few more 19th century words I keep in my pocket:

squirt - fire engine

skirmishers - Men looking for cheap bargains from traders on newly arriving steamboats

lip tickle - a kiss

coughing hoss - what Indians named the locomotive

chunk - slang for dinner

Trust me, chucklehead is a live and well. And, sadly, used more every day.
