The term flapper in the 1920s referred to a "new breed" of young women who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered "decent" behavior.
Flappers had their own slang, with terms like "snugglepup" (a man who frequents petting parties) and "bamey-mugging" (sex).Their dialect reflected their promiscuity and drinking habits; "I have to go see a man about a dog" often meant going to buy whiskey, and a "Handcuff" or "Manacle" was an engagement or wedding ring.
Flapper dresses were straight and loose, leaving the arms bare and dropping the waistline to the hips.
