How Did The “speak-easy” Get Its Name?


A speakeasy (one word) was a secret “black market” bar during the American Prohibition of alcohol. Because they traded in illegal products, they had to restrict how many people knew of the speakeasy’s existence and location so the police wouldn’t find out about it. So whenever somebody spoke of the bar in public, they had to “speak easy” or softly, so the wrong people wouldn’t overhear.
