{"product_id":"hash-house-lingo-jack-smiley-9780486481128","title":"Hash House Lingo: The Slang of Soda Jerks, Short-Order Cooks, Bartenders, Waitresses, Carhops, and Other Denizens of Yesterday's Roadside","description":"Originally published in 1941, this pocket-sized treasury preserves the language of diners and roadside restaurants during their golden age in the '30s and '40s. From \"all hot\" (baked potato) and \"dog soup\" (water) to \"perk\" (coffee) and \"first lady\" (spare ribs), the long-lost terms are fascinating, funny, and sometimes politically incorrect by today's standards. Historic photos from the Library of Congress add nostalgic appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Smiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486481123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486481128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.63h x 5.60w x 0.55d","brand":"Jack Smiley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962016551167,"sku":"9780486481128","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_baf7af99-c487-4c1d-8702-16f6c7440207.jpg?v=1750649062","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hash-house-lingo-jack-smiley-9780486481128","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
