An old-school slang term for a guy or fellow, usually with a slightly dismissive or teasing edge. Think of it as the early 20th-century version of calling someone a "dude" or "character" — not outright insulting, but not exactly a compliment either. It pops up in old American literature and pulp fiction to describe someone who's a bit of a goofball or an odd duck. Rarely heard today, but still a fun piece of linguistic history.

An informal, slightly dated slang term for a person, carrying a mildly dismissive or humorous tone. Typically used to refer to a fellow or bloke in a non-specific way, often where the speaker finds the person odd or unremarkable. More common in early-to-mid 20th century American and British slang than in contemporary use.
A vulgar, playful slang term for a female breast. It belongs to the long tradition of colorful, nonsensical-sounding words English speakers invent for body parts — think along the lines of 'bazooka' or 'boob' territory but with extra syllables and maximum absurdity. The word has a comedic, cartoonish energy that makes it feel more like a Benny Hill sketch than genuine vulgarity. Not widely used today but immediately understood when deployed.
(slang) A person.
(slang, pejorative) guy, fellow.
(US, slang, dated) An unspecified item; a thingy or gadget.
