I have a few comments on some of the definitions in the Mental floss link.
"
8. Hanging paper
Paying with forged checks. "I hope that chick who stole my purse last week goes to jail for hanging paper."
This is an old term dating back to the nineteenth century. A similar term is "shove the queer" which means to pass counterfeit currency." I've only read the term once; it was in an old Nick Carter story dating from about 1900. "Shove the queer." is a related term. It means passing counterfeit coins or currency.
"10. Jungled up
Having a place to live, or specific living arrangements. "All I know is that he's jungled up with that guy he met at the gin mill last month."
This is still another older term. I've read it numerous times in prewar hard-boiled detective stories.
"13. Mason-Dixon line
Anywhere out of bounds, especially regarding personal space. "Keep your hands above the Mason-Dixon line, thanks."
Another old term but it refers only to a woman's waist. A woman who would use the term probably isn't wife material.
"16. Pearl diver
A person who washes dishes. "I'm just a pearl diver at a greasy spoon, but it's a job."
Another anachronism.
"25. Yard
A thousand dollars. "Yeah, it's nice, but rent is half a yard a week. Let's jungle up somewhere else."
I heard the term many times in the sixties from men at least forty. The definition is wrong. A yard is a hundred dollars, not a thousand.
I heard another term in the fifties and sixties: "a gag and vomit" or "G & V Cafe." I believe that the definition is obvious.
