What are the slang words from the civil war?

Bread Basket= Stomach

Greenbacks= money

Fit to be tied= angry

Answer and Explanation:

Here are some slang words and their meanings from the Civil War:

1. Deadline

The term 'deadline' often referred to the line drawn around a military prison, outside, where you were liable to be shot.

2. (Hearing it through the) grapevine

This comes from the era of the Civil War concept, ' a despatch by grapevine telegraph', which actually touched on data progressed privately from one person to another instead of  through some type of public communication source, like, for ex; the telegraph.

3. Carpetbagger

This is actually a disrespectful term that expressed that their apparent ‘property qualification’ was made up of nothing more than the contents of the carpetbag that they carried.

4. Shoddy

Well, this word originally made reference to 'woolen yarn obtained by tearing to shreds refuse woolen rags', which is merged with fresh wool to then make a cloth.

5. Rebel yell

(Well, since there's actually no audio recordings or anything like that from the Civil War, it's hard to say just exactly what 'shoddy' means, but I'm gonna take a wild guess at it.)

I'm gonna say it was like ‘a shout or battle cry used by the Confederates’ as they went into battle, like how Indians do, I don't know lol.

6. Skedaddle

It initially meant 'to retreat or to retire hastily' or 'to flee', making mention especially to soldiers or troops, when they 'fleed' from the battle field or 'retreated or retired back to their camps'.

7. Sideburns

This definition was quoted from Oxford Dictionaries:

"Two major changes happened to the style since the time of Burnside: 1) the mustache disappeared, so that the style featured a strip of facial hair extending from the hairline down each side of the face, and 2) the word was flipped around to become sideburns."

And the final slang word for you, my friend,

8. Lost cause

This phrase predominantly refers to ‘a person or thing that can no longer hope to succeed or be changed for the better’.

HOPE I HELPED YOU! HAVE A GOOD REST OF YOUR DAY!
