"Don't Take any wooden nickels!"

WHAT?! Gello, fellow views, I have a wonderful post for you to see. So today I will be talking to you about the language on what they kind of words people said in 1920. this was actually for our passion projects, we had to create a conversation with our character and someone else from the cast. So I will firstly list you some of the Slang Phrases. Get buckled up and let's go!!

Here are some of my favourites:

"Bank's Closed!" Meaning: When you tell people to stop making out.

Cake - Eater: It is referring to a ladies man.

"Go chase yourself!" Meaning: "Get out of here!"

Handcuff: Engagement Ring

Know your onions: To know what's up or what's going on.

Tomato: A woman

That is some of my favourites

Okay now for the conversations, (this will be in 1920's style so don't tell me that it's crazy you have been warned!!) so my character is Bangles, as someone of you may know from my recent blog post. I will be having a conversation with Tallulah who is the captain of the dancing girls, which I am in. Let us get started!

Bangles: Okay, Tomatoe's bank's closed!
Tallulah: But, Bangles it was only a cash!
Bangles: Anyways have you gotten your handcuff from Fat Sam.
Tallulah:  No, not yet, he is too ossified and busy to but one.
Bangles: Well that's heartbreaking, no wonder why you looked half seas over.
Tallulah: Bangles! Don't you call me that I always look Hotsy - Totsy.

Okay, so to me that was somehow weird, but I enjoyed writing it. Know for the present time writing some word may be offensive.

Bangles: Okay woman, stop kissing!
Tallulah: But, Bangles it was only a smooch!
Bangles: Anyways have you gotten your engagement ring from Fat Sam.
Tallulah:  No, not yet, he is too drunk and busy to buy one.
Bangles: Well that's heartbreaking, no wonder why you looked shitfaced. (Some words may be offensive.)
Tallulah: Bangles! Don't you call me that I always look attractive and pleasing to boys!

Reflection: So I think I did well in creating the conversations. Next time I should include more things about the plot and ord from the script.

Okay thats a wrap, I know it might have been very awkward thank you for reading through it. Oh, and the meaning for the tittle is, "Don't do anything dumb!" Anyways I hope you have a great day and stay tuned for more!
