If you stepped out a moment to powder your nose, don't muss yourself over what you may have missed. You can brush up on the A to Zs of 1920s slang from here: Talk the Talk for Walking the Walk.

Waving back at ya, Michelle! Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteI'm pleased if the name sounds literary--it's a relatively new pseudonym for this little debut novelist, and I've been wondering how it comes across. Bingo! :)
Ha!
DeleteI was right then... literary... I knew it! *air punches*
Fist-bumping ya on that one. :)
DeleteYou surely know your onions. :-)

Excellent use of your 20s slang! You are a very apt pupil! :)
Delete20's slang - definitely never heard the word used in that manner. I have learned something today.
ReplyDeleteI can go home now...
One of the glossaries I consulted wanted to make it very clear, though, that "noodle" when used on its own means "head." So there's a little two-fer for ya, Alex. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHi, Rummer,
