Instead writing a story I will give you a list of 1920s slang and examples of how it was used.
- Bee's Knees-a great person
- Baby-sweatheart
- Bank's closed-no kissing
- Attaboy-well done
- Bell Bottom-sailor
- Caper-a criminal act
- Bull-cop
- Cat's meow-something great
- Chassis-female body
- Deb-a debutant
- Dogs-feet
- Dolled up-dressed up
- Dry up-shut up
- Earful-enough
Two sentence examples are:
- The bell bottom was all dolled up because of the Deb he thought was the bee's knees.
- He got an earful from the bull who told him to dry up.
