milland Retro Hipster Slang Revealed: Part 3

Now that the school season is upon us, TCM would like to help in the education process. This post broadens horizons and builds the vocabulary. We realize most of you don’t have access to a time machine (or the very least a flux capacitor) so here is a list of terms to assist all you current hipsters, looking for a touch of the past.

1.  “Pull into the curb daddy-o before your dreamboat becomes a battleship”

Translation:                                                                                                                             This relationship is doing you no good, give it up

2. “Fresh fish special”

Translation:                                                                                                                     Bad prison haircut given to recent arrivals

3. “Tijuana Bible”

Translation:                                                                                                 Pornographic magazine

4. “My solid pigeon, that drape is killer diller, an e-flat dillinger, a bit of a fly thing on one page”

Translation:                                                                                                             How to compliment a young lady on her new and pretty dress

5. “Tonsil Paint”

Translation:                                                                                                             Alcohol

Those extra shots of booze you really don’t need because you’re already wasted

Retro Hipster Slang Revealed: Part 1

BIG035AY460 Retro Hipster Slang Revealed: Part 1

Have you ever watched an old movie and heard someone say some fucked up gibberish that doesn’t make a lick of sense to anyone in their right mind? TCM will be doing our best to help define such 1940’s and 50’s hipster slang for you, the only way we know how.

Let’s get started.

1. “That chick is locked up in this direction, so just cut out while your conk is all in one portion”

This is how you can tell someone to stop annoying the young lady you are escorting.

2. “Solid Jack, I’ll dig you in your den gradually”

This is the proper reply when invited to someone’s house.

3. “Deep Sea Diving”

Translation:
Oral sex

And of course my personal favorite:

4. “Must have been tough on your mother, not having any children”

Translation:
I don’t know who you are, but you don’t impress me.

That is some cold hearted shit to say to someone. Anyway, check back often as we infiltrate the hipster and begin digging deeper into it’s world of nonsensical speaking patterns.
