Re: 1930's phrasesPosted by Brian Raney on March 12, 2001 In Reply to: 1930's phrases posted by Emily on March 12, 2001 : Hey! Does anybody know any popular phrases, words, slogans, or meanings that came out of the 30's? I'm doing a project for school and can't find any. If you know of any please e-mail me. It would be greatly appreciated. The only one new that comes to mind that I heard recently was "You and me is Jake" or "something not Jake, here." I not sure who "Jake" was but he must of inspired some sort of respect in his name. A "Twist" was sometimes a name for a prostitute or any woman known for her ability to twist men around her finger. "Take it on the heel and toe," was slang for asking someone to leave; same as "get lost" is today. "That mouse was quite a dish," might be said if someone was describing a hot date. Hope it helps.
