Description

Speak Flapper had a number one debut in its category. This is a dictionary of slang from the Roaring Twenties, also called the Jazz Age. I collected these terms while researching my various fictional stories set in the 1920s.The book is intended for entertainment purposes. It is also peppered with history and trivia about the era. You might use it in preparing for a 1920s costume party, or for a gathering to watch a favorite movie or TV show set in the Roaring Twenties. Or use it for the simple personal fun of speaking flapper! You’re the cat’s pajamas! Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene Read more Read less

    • A Fun Resource Tool
This isn't your typical book. What author Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene has created here is an invaluable resource tool for writers working in the historical fiction genre. And it even comes in handy for readers looking to decipher passages in their favorite historical stories. Most of all, it's just a fun book to read. This is a dictionary into the language of the Roaring Twenties and the flapper girls who became the trend setters for the generations that followed. Having penned a novel set in the 1920s, I can tell you this resource book would have been a godsend while in the research phase of my story. I will certainly use this when it comes time for the sequel. The author even offers the origins of many slang words and sayings from that bygone era. I found this book to be as entertaining as it is educational. If you're into trivia, history, and fun facts, this is a book you'll enjoy. So, if you're a can-opener who gets pinched, no worries. We'll come up with the cabbage to spring you from the caboose. (Definition: If you're a safe-cracker who gets arrested, we'll raise the money and bail you out of jail.) ... show more

    • A Fun and Interesting Read
This is an informative book about some of the language and slang terms used in the 1920's. Many words and phrases were familiar to me, but others were not. I'm now reading a mystery about some flapper girls, and am glad I read this book, first.

    • An entertaining & informative book
I really enjoyed this book. Author Teagan Geneviene's book 'Speak Flapper' is entertaining, informative & a good introductory book to the words & talk of America in the 1920's. I loved all the 'Jazz Age' words in the book. The book was really enjoyable & a fast read. I loved the history notes & 1920's trivia mentioned in the book; they gave me a lot of perspective about USA in that decade of the 20th century. I loved the reference to James Joyce's 'Ulysses' & many other trivia that made me realize the origins of so many words related to the Jazz era. I also realized that I unknowingly use so many Flapper words & phrases which all originated during this era. Some of these words are Baloney, Big Cheese, Clam, Crashing Party, Get it, All wet, Old fruit, Mrs. Grundy, Jalopy, Hitch, Killjoy & so many other words. All this is penned beautifully by talented author Teagan Geneviene. This book certainly gets 5 stars from me. Kudos to her on a job well done ! I look forward to reading more fiction & non-fiction books by her in the near future. ... show more
