It's not very sexy, and anon thinks she may have gone overboard with the 20's slang, but. Please enjoy!England coughed as America blew smoke from a cigarette into his face (and he could only be happy that it was tobacco, and not opium, as that was becoming increasing popular with the young nation

England placed his head in his hands, and groaned. Just how had his boy turned out so strange? All right, he admitted, he wasn’t the most manly of countries, but he certainly wasn’t as, well, to put it nicely for once, effeminate as that France, and he had made well sure that damn frog had as little contact with America as possible when he was a child--of course, he wasn’t saying the outfit looked bad on America, it really didn’t, actually, it complimented his thin, muscular legs rather nicely and--oh, fuck, he did not just think that

Quick translation of the slang, for those that don't know it. (to)cast kittens: to get angry about something, to pitch a fit. Bascially, it's the same as saying something like "don't have a cow." High-hat:: Snob, prude, etc. Vamp: Some one (pretty much exclusively a tern for a female, but, America is crossdressing) extremely seductive, or sexy. Ethel: Slang for an effeminate male. Necking, petting: Pretty obvious, but, making out. Also, Bees Knees was actually a really popular cocktail in the 20's, particularly because it was one of the few that didn't taste like utter crap (for, example, what America was drinking. Because, yes, that's a real kind of cocktail too. It's some kind of flip). Mixing stuff into the bootleg alcohol was necessary, though, not only to hide that they were drinking alcohol, but also because the homemade gin ('white lightening' or 'bathtub gin') tasted horrible.

Author!anon here. Thank you very much~
Oh, sorry, forgot to add that one to the list. D: A quiff is a slut, or just any girl that flirts a lot and dresses skimpily (and, at the time, England's clothing style was still pretty conservative, at least compared to America's, so.).
Was for anyone/20's!America, bonus if he's dressed like a flapper.
