    Hi-de-ho

    One thing I’ve learned while researching for a story set during WW II - there’s a lot of slang from back in the day probably better off lost to history.

    Some of my favorites:

    Tooting the wrong ringer (Asking the wrong person)

    Hi sugar, are you rationed? (Hey girl, you got a man?)

    Killer-diller! (Cool!)

    Motorized freckles (Insects - I know, wtf?)

    Hen fruit (Eggs. Nasty…)
