HUZZLECOO
Huz´zle-coo, n. 1. An intimate talk; a “heart-to-heart” conversation; a private confidential chat. 2. A flirtation.
A huzzlecoo is an animated conversation between two women over the back fence. It is a business talk between two partners and their credit-man behind the locked doors of the office; it is the directors’ meeting which results in Jones being appointed.
Ward politicians hold huzzlecoos in the back rooms of saloons and make up their “slates.” Mother and daughter hold a huzzlecoo in Nellie’s pink cretonne bedroom over “that young man” who has become so attentive. After the baseball captain and his manager have a huzzlecoo, Five-Base Murphy is put into the box.
But if you’ve never heard two girls discussing a man, or sat in the front parlor with Moony Mamie, the Merry Maneater, till 2 A.M.—then I pity you; you’ll never know what a good hot huzzlecoo means. (See Voriander.)
The huzzlecoo that Mary had
With me, the other night,
Was intimate and personal,
And,—well, you know all right!
The huzzlecoo her father had
With me, soon after that,
Was intimate and personal—
I left without my hat!
Hy´gog, n. 1. An unsatisfied desire. 2. An anxious suspense.
