Roaring Twenties

From Falsipedia

A phrase that typically refers to an era of American History in which jazz musicians, flapper dancers and merry mobsters spent their nights using twenty dollar bills to light their furnaces, fireplaces, cigars and cigarettes. The nights would be filled with the sound of paper money going up in a flash. This ritual also coined the phrase money to burn, which by sheer coincidence lead to a time period called the Great Depression, a time when banks could no longer find twenty dollar bills to distribute and thus caused a collapse in the stock market.
