- Synopsis
- Boogie Woogie Boy, is a rich, unique source of hundreds of terms used by American and Allied servicemen and women in World War Two. The "slang" in the book is, by and large, humorous and paints a sometimes hilarious picture of life for the average GI, sailor, marine, or nurse. From "air corps chicken — a fowl that is all wings" to "Zeppelins in a fog — sausage and mashed potatoes," Boogie Woogie Boy is a fun-filled compendium, and also a valuable reference for readers of World War Two-era books, writers, playwrights, etc. Illustrated with ten cartoons.
