I am in my 40’s, so it’s around the same era. All I am saying is that I have heard all of that slang before and it isn’t made up. (I even occasionally use “gag a maggot”, actually.)
Well all I can tell you is that I’m 47, from Indiana, and I spend a lot of time listening to music from the 1930s and 1940s and I don’t say stuff like that.
Yeah, so it’s probably regional. My family from your part of the world doesn’t use the colorful language I learned in NC. In many ways, it’s it’s more than just a dialect difference, it’s an entirely different language. Idioms are much more common, or at least, more colorful.
