Jive-inspired youth slang of the 1940s had a prodigious vocabulary to describe parts of the body (the frame), many based on the function of the body part. No other decade can point to an anatomical slang anywhere even vaguely as extensive as that of the 1940s. Starting from the head and working down to the toes:

Hair: brush (a mustache), face lace (whiskers), moss.
The head: biscuit, dome, idea pot, noggin and think-box
The face: index, knob (an ugly face), map, phiz, puss.

Eyes: blinkers, lamps, pies, shutters (eye-lids), slanters, spotters.

Ears: flippers, flops, lugs (large ears), mikes, sails.

The nose: handle (a large nose), horn, schnozz, sneezer.

The mouth and environs: bone box (mouth), chewers (teeth), chops (jaws), choppers (teeth), crumb crunchers (teeth), snags (tonsils).

The neck: stretcher.

Shoulders and arms: brace o' broads (shoulders), brace o' hookers (arms), floppers (arms), hinges (elbows).

Hands: dukes (fists), grabbers, meat hooks, paddlers, paws.

Fingers: feelers, fish hooks, forks, hooks, pickers, stealers, wigglers.

The chest, abdomen and contents: bread basket (stomach), clocker (heart), pail (stomach), pump (heart), ticker (heart).

Legs: drumsticks, pillars, prayer dukes (knees), splits, stems, stumps, uprights.

Feet: hocks, plates.

Toes: ten (as in-it's good to have ten).

I wonder why slang was so popular in the forties. It's evident how widespread it was from the movies of that time. Weren't the slang terms "mugg" (face) and "gams" (legs) from that period also?
