word - CHEEK definition - audacity and disrespect sentence- "The cheek of you!" story- One time my Irish mother (i live in the US) was extremely pissed off at me because i disrespected her, and she yelled "THE CHEEK OF YOU" over and over. It was awesome, i just laughed at her.

Winklepickers (a very pointy shoe) I'll blow (I'm buying) Flivver (a car) Spoonin' (some degree of making out, I'm not sure to what degree though) Strumpet, tart, hussy (derogatorily directed at females, qv. slut, bee-atch, ho') and here's my favorite: WHIPPERSNAPPERS!!!

I love the word Poppycock (which has origins in the Nederlands). Today you'd either be abused for saying the word cock in public or laughed at because it's something granddads say. It's an excellent word to use if you wish to replace and emphasise the word 'nonsense'. Another favourite is Googly Moogly often used with a great in front of it. Used as an exclamation it is priceless Great Googly Moogly Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
varmint - "Opal, there's some varmint out there chewin on yer flivver." hoosegow - "I hear tell they have a nice hoosegow over in Mount Pilot." shebang - "The NEXT time we invade a Middle Eastern country we're going to use the whole shebang." hootenanny - "Last night we really got wrecked at the hootenanny." clodbuster - "That clodbuster is trying to make the moves on your daughter." greasemonkey - "That greasemonkey doesn't know his ass from a '68 Stang axlerod."

"awful", the old meaning - "Filled with awe, especially: Filled with or displaying great reverence." It's weird that it now means terrible or unpleasant, almost a total reversal of meaning.
