Big Beat Steve Posted June 5, 2023 Report Posted June 5, 2023 Some that certainly can't be googled via "jazz joke cartoon": Maybe a bit dated, but here's some mild fun from the pages of ESTRAD (1940 and early 1941): Quote

"Floozie" was too racy, so "floogie" was substituted. Strange, because back then most people knew that the "floy floy" was slang for venereal disease. Gotta love Slim & Slam! Quote

Very nice, your cartoons! 😄 As for the "Flot Foot Floogie" (or "Floozie"): I may be mistaken but I do remember more than one slang-laden text from the 40s (or thereabouts) where "floozie" was used to refer to an "easily wooed chick" (to put it very politely). "Straight From The Fridge Dad" (The Dictionary of Hipster Slang) by Max Decharné defines a floozie as a "tart, dancehall doll, streetwalker". But with no "race" connotations in any of these uses. Or did you use "racy" just in the sense of "explicit" ("suggestive", "lewd" or whatever ...)? Didn't know about THIS meaning of "floy floy", though. Edited June 6, 2023 by Big Beat Steve Quote

clifford_thornton Posted October 10, 2023 Report Posted October 10, 2023 "Burrito Supreme" was the refrain as I remember it, but there are a bunch of variations. Quote
