Nifty Fifties...

One of my school's is having a sock hop later this month... I am cranked!
While I was researching hair-dos, I came upon some 50's slang & just had to share the following insults:

Peggy Sue (to Sally Ann): I can't believe Betty Jo came to my party wearing a blouse identical to the one I told her that I was going to wear! She's got some nerve!
Betty Jo (overhearing the conversation): Oh, D.D.T.! (Drop Dead Twice)
Sally Ann (to Betty Jo): What, and look like you?

 

hahaha...
*sigh*
