“He’s real blowed-in-the-glass, you’d never smoke he’d go caterwauling and end up in monkey and parrot time.”<\/p>\n

Let’s dissect:<\/p>\n

Blowed-in-the-glass:\u00a0<\/strong> a genuine, trustworthy individual (Wikipedia: Hobo Expressions used through 1940s<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Monkey and parrot time<\/strong>: a lady left her favorite bird in company with a monkey and during her absence the two animals had a fight. \u00a0When she returned the monkey was wiping his scratched face and the almost featherless parrot called out, ‘we’ve been having a hell of a \u00a0time.’ \u00a0a general row or free fight is a ‘monkey and parrot time.’ (1891 American Slang Dictionary by James Maitland<\/a>)<\/p>\n

CATERWAULING:<\/strong> Going out in the night in search of\u00a0 intrigues, like a cat in the gutters. (1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue by Francis Grose<\/a>)<\/p>\n

TO SMOKE:<\/strong> To observe, to suspect. (1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue by Francis Grose<\/a>)<\/p>\n

To sum up “He’s real blowed-in-the-glass, you’d never smoke he’d go caterwauling and end up in monkey and parrot time” means “he’s a really genuine and trustworthy, you’d never suspect that he’d go out on the town all night and get into to fights.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
