Trust me, these slang words from the 20th century are pretty jake.
Snootful: the amount of alcohol it takes to get drunk
This somewhat imprecise term first appeared in the OED in 1918. Imagine getting to have this conversation: "How much did you drink last night?" "Pretty much a snootful."
Peanutty: small, child-like, trivial
"Peanutty" as an adjective meaning something closer to "petty" than "having the taste of peanuts" was first cited in the OED in 1922.
Hotsy-totsy: appropriate, just right; later: pretentious or snobbish
First cited in the OED in 1924, hotsy-totsy has meant a few different things.
Palooka: clumsy, loutish person
The term "palooka" was first cited in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1920, and was also used as the surname for a comic book character created that year.
