It constantly amazes me how skilled women of all ages are at communicating with little to no exchange of actual words. As you would all know, often it can take no more than an all-knowing look passed between two of us for an entire conversation-length of information to be exchanged. Whether it's a mother & daughter, a best friend or a brief exchange with a complete stranger on the street; there's no doubt we have very unique (& skilled!) communications tactics.
On the thought of communication; I did some research into some common slang terms used back in the 1950s (the era that continually inspires the image of the Elizabeth Class brand!) and thought I'd pass on some of the one's I found!....There were some I hadn't heard of & I think are definitely worth bringing back! Plus, us girls could always use with some more sneaky communication tactics to uphold our mystery & charm don't you think ;) Enjoy...
"Pinky’s out of jail" - your slip is showing
(I like this one! Very handy girl-code....could be used for a number of possible 'slips' of the underwear variety)
"Nerd" - same as now. Bill Gates without the money.
Haha! Not only a funny definition but also a subtle reminder; don't write off nerds in our younger years, their brains (& bank balances!) are only set to get more handy later on in life ;)
"Queen": a popular girl
"Smog in the noggin": lost memory; forgot something .
Now THIS one is a perfect example of monday mornings/friday afternoons at work, school or uni! We've all had these moments...

"Cooties": imaginary infestations of the truly un-cool.
Now THAT is a well written definition. And love that this term is still more than active in the primary school language of today.
"Dolly": A cute girl
Wouldn't it be nice to bring back such a beautiful term for the girls of our day & age
