Talk, Quiz #2
Last Updated: 06/24/97
| Soldiers during the War Between the States,
developed many slang terms and phrases which probably
saw little use in civilian life and speech. Most
of the terms used described items associated with the
war or Army life. These slang terms disappeared from
the soldiers vocabularies once their usefulness had ended
but a few persist to this day. So, get a cup of "Java"
and some "Slap-Jacks" and try our quiz. Quiz two is
a little harder than Quiz one. Select from the possible answers under "Modern Equivalent", use each answer only once. When you are done, check your answers under the "Answers" column. |
