Thats when they hit the jackpot behind a dusty, old, cobweb-covered moonshine barrel, they discovered a few pages of genuine Prohibition-Era slang, a true relic of one of historys most storied periods. They turned to Kevin C. Fitzpatrick, President of the Dorothy Parker Society, to authenticate and restore the find. Now, we present to you a treasure trove of flapper secrets, including the origins of words and phrases still used today, if not fondly remembered, like cats pajamas, lollygagger, blind date, home wrecker, gadget, and behind the eight ball. Oliver Wyman reads The Speakeasy Guide and captures the rich atmosphere and enduring cultural influence of the roaring 20s. While the anecdote about Audible staffers stumbling out of an anonymous casino might be in doubt, one things for sure this fun listen is the bees knees.
