Title
Hash House Lingo: The Slang of Soda Jerks, ShortOrder Cooks, Bartenders, Waitresses, Carhops and Other Denizens of Yesterday's ,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Originally published in 1941, this pocketsized treasury preserves the language of diners and roadside restaurants during their golden age in the '30s and '40s. From "all hot" (baked potato) and "dog soup" (water) to "perk" (coffee) and "first lady" (spare ribs), the longlost terms are fascinating, funny, and sometimes politically incorrect by today's standards. Historic photos from the Library of Congress add nostalgic appeal.
