In Stephen Fry's The Liar, the protagonist decides to take up the slang of the roaring twenties--think PG Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster: "Absolutely spiffing, old chum!" "What! What!"
Just use "jolly" in place of "very" or "really," as in "jolly odd, that!"
"No rotting!" is a way of saying, "no kidding?!"
Slang of that era in practice could be very dense and incomprehensible, crazy kids...
Or, you could be a bit more current: "Excuse me stewardess, I speak jive."
