1930s Slang of the Day
“Butter and egg man”
Definition: The money man, the man with the bankroll
Sometimes a Poet. Always an Artist. Perpetually obsessed with the 1920s and 30s. Continually enthralled with literature, jazz and decent musical theater. Often seen with oil paint on arms and hands. Regularly dabbles in singing and writing music. Particularly fond of kindness, manners and old-fashionedness. Recurrently a walking thesaurus.
My resource for my daily 20s and 30s sayings come from a great book called "Flappers 2 Rappers" by Tom Dalzell.
