1920s slang from the cast of Downton Abbey



Fellow Downton Abbey fans, I saw a new video this week that enlightened me to some 1920s-era slang, including a term that readers of this blog would surely, surely like to know about it.

It's just a few minutes long, so check it out here. (And tell me, please, had YOU ever heard this before? I had not!) For that and other flapper-era terms, go here.

  2. No, I have never heard the slang term "noodle juice," and I would NEVER have guessed that it meant "tea"! Those 1920's slang words and phrases are quite amusing.
