Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
What did “bee's knees” mean in 1920s American slang, and would a New York flapper say it sincerely or jokingly?
I'm writing a 1910 London dockworker. Explain “bloke” for that period and suggest two lines of dialogue that sound plausible.
Compare “groovy” in 1960s and 1970s American slang, including who used it and how its tone shifted.
