Do You Know What "Bumping Ears" Means? (Sporcle)

The site I used to play the quizzes is here: sporcle.com
As a 100 year old man, nobody is more qualified than me to try to suss out some 1920s slang. Now listen, don't be a supermurgatroid, capisce? This video is the bee's knees, so if you're not all that and a bag of potato chips, just keep on trucking.
