1940 slang words

My family was very old so this stuff I can remember without research. If you think back, you will note that your parents say the stuff their parents said [and so on and so on and so on]. So I could give you some 40s expressions, ie:

cooking with gas

or

killer-diller

or

cats pajamas

or

bees knees

without doing a whole lot of thinking. But, in addition to the transitory nature of slang [meaning, in this sentence, that it crosses all kinds of demographic--not to mention time--barriers. What's said in the 30s is said in the 40s, what's said in the 80s is still said in 2012], I probably cannot pull up as much as websites devoted to the processing and practice of slang throughout the modern decades. Here's one good example of a site that works the 1940s:
