A to Z: The Bee's Knees She Ain't

Well, good morning, everyone! Welcome back to my humble abode, where by the end of the month, I hope to have you speaking in Twenties tongues.

In case you missed my original post about the Blogging from A to Z Challenge:

 A-Z, and all that jA-Zz

The full list of A-Z blog-hoppers

I now bring you the next installment of 1920s slang so you're hip to the jive by the time my 1920s novel Seven for a Secret come out. I will be the first to say that this one's rather mean, but it does appear in the book, so I'd be remiss not to help you translate:

~*~  BUG-EYED BETTY  ~*~

Meaning: An undesirable woman

"Fellas, just wait-n-see. 
I'm not the bug-eyed Betty I used to be."

A-Z, and all that jA-Zz

So...eight days later, I'm crawling to the doorsteps of the long-since abandoned Theme Reveal party, pathetically blowing on my kazoo to stir up some residual fanfare.

HELLO! Hello! Hello! goes the echo. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? 

Ah well, I'm still going to reveal my theme for the 2014 Blogging from A to Z Challenge, the topic that I shall be exploring through every letter of the alphabet for 26 days in April.

Ready? 

You sure? 

Okay then...

...wait for it...

~*~  1920s Slang  ~*~

Ta-da!!!

Disappointed? 

Tough tootsies.

This is so you'll be hip to the jive by the time SEVEN FOR A SECRET releases later this year (August 2014, Omnific Publishing). Up to the challenge? Then put your kale where your kisser is and meet me back here on April Fool's, when we'll flap our gums flapper-style.
