Dumb Dora A dumb Dora is 1920s American slang for a foolish woman.〔(Slang of the 1920s )〕〔(Alpha Dictionary )〕 The epithet was popularized by the vaudeville act of George Burns and his wife, Gracie Allen,〔 but was in use earlier.〔The Washington Herald, January 30, 1922, p. 6〕 In 1924 it was turned into a comic strip drawn by Chic Young (of later ''Blondie'' fame) and produced by King Features Syndicate.〔(''Dumb Dora'' ) at Don Markstein's Toonpedia. (Archived ) from the original on March 6, 2015.〕 Although this strip was discontinued in 1935, a popular 1960s and 1970s CBS game show, ''Match Game'', occasionally alluded to the strip by asking those watching in the studio to shout in unison, "How dumb is she?" (borrowing from a routine from ''The Tonight Show'').〔 Flappers of the 1920s were also sometimes likened to dumb Doras.〔(1920s Slang )〕〔"Flapper Blazing New Trail of Freedom", The Washington Times, April 16, 1922, p. 4E〕 ==References==
