Finally updated my 1960s slang page again, itâs getting long! But itâs a super helpful page- at least for me. I find myself looking back at it a lot when writing. I also have a page for JD slang and Southern slang/pronunciation that get updated pretty regularly as well!

Historical Slang; A Study in Butt Synonyms
Do you long for historically accurate slang in your fanfictions? Do you want to know whether to call your OCâs butt a âroby douglasâ or a âcrupperâ?â
Greenâs Dictionary of Slang is your friend! If youâre a purist for paper copies you can shell out a cool ~$800 for all three volumes. If youâre literally anyone else you can use the entire thing online for free. Itâs basically Urban Dictionary for history (but with sources).
I may or may not name my firstborn after this bad boy.Â
Why is this monster of a historical database significant? Let me tell you. This thingâs search engine is gold. You can search by word meaning, headword, source, time period, etymology, and usage. This is sexy stuff. You know why? Because I can do this.
Every little tally up there is a different instance of usage in published historical text. I can read each quotation complete with source, country of use, and year of publication. I can also use this to sort between 1800 and 1899 to find the exact usage of âbuttâ I want. This is important - if youâre anal AF and want your historical fanfic to be as accurate as possible (even though literally no one else cares aside from all two of us), you can.
Say we want to talk about butts in our writing. Our story is set in 1899. You pop over to this search engine and sit down to see whatâs what.
You can see that around 1882 in England the word changes to mean the butt of a cigarette rather than buttocks, as they were before. Around the turn of the century you can see using âbuttâ to talk about buttocks becomes the norm again, pretty much all over the world. In 1918 in Australia we can see the definition expands again to now also include it as a definition for the end of a prison sentence in. In 1943 in the USA it means the end of an enlistment period.Â
Well thatâs not helpful for our purpose today. I guess we could still use the word âbuttâ in our boy-love fanfic set in 1899, but what else can we use? Letâs go back to our sexy, sexy historical thesaurus.Â
LOOK AT ALL THESE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE WORDS WE CAN USE TO DESCRIBE BUTTS.Â
We are wealthy, folks. Blessed in the ways of the internet. Go forth and shower the world in historically accurate butt synonyms.Â
Sweat I can't be the only one who's noticed this right but Millennials and gen Z have created term for people with larger body types or people with more I guess I should say mess to them in a non insulting way that word being "thicc"
Older generations use terms like:
Fat, big boned, whale, chubby, heavy, lard, obese*, big, fleshy, pudgy, cow, foodie, baloon, hippo, blob, blimpy, potbelly, toad, sleech, tugboat, slob, rhino, nard, a bunch of other uses for lard, or squat.
Us younger generations use more lighthearted terms a lot more and in a much more passive or complementary way such as:
Burly,tubby/chubby (often used for babies or smols), ample,chonky ( always positive and almost always used for animals),fluffy, and of course, THICC.
From what I've seen it seems Millennials got more of the full blunt of "get thin" thrown at them buy magazines and such. While gen Z is more focused on the curviness of people and your weight has become less and less of an issue. then again we do have other things to focus on... Like... WW3... Planets on fire... Bunch of new plagues... But hey at least now im only called fat by old people.
Our Generation has changed with technology along with their terms this comes with as always the positives and the negatives of every new advancement in our lives it's time to smile because of the positives and try to improve the negatives smile that we are treating people better whether it be with terminology or just out of love and try to improve the way we speak to others as a constant.
Love yourself and get a good nights sleep if you can. Muah <3
*(obesity is a medical term for those at risk because of weight that is not exclusively about body type or fat and involves other aspects often out of a person's control. Obese was a term many used as an insult. Always correct someone who is using it wrong. Everyone deserves the chance to learn more and to improve.)
Time period post: General slang
Im going to keep my time period posts going, and since I pulled my âtough slangâ up out of the depths of my blog I thought Iâd also do a quick guide for more general 1960s slang thatâs not greaser/JD specific.
Quick note:
There was also a greater use of expressions or sayings than we use today. Same goes for sarcasm, yes it still gets used but thereâs a slight difference. People have always cursed even if it wasnât the social norm/polite issueâ so there was a a lot of creativity in insults, being rude or telling someone off.
This is just sort of a âquick guideâ there is a lot out there and I recommend looking into more if youâre interested. Some sites repeat a lot of stuff but itâs neat to go digging
Tough Slang |
Iâve been watching a lot of delinquent movies (I have recs) lately and Iâve started to collect the slang common in them. This is a âdictionaryâ thatâs useful for writing but Iâd still recommend looking up period or group specific slang yourself too, consider this a starting guide.
Primarily 50s-60s , mixed with general slang and relevant words.
