There was still a dress code when I went to public high school in CA from '65-'69. The girls had to kneel and if their dresses (no pants allowed!) didn't touch the ground, the Dean would send them home. Nylons required. No t-shirts or facial hair for the boys, etc. I wish I had a copy of that rule book now, just for laughs.
We also used to say it was snowing down south -- mentioning undergarments by saying the word "slip" being far too crass, of course. I remember my sister crying one day because it was so humiliating that she had walked across campus that way.
Do people still use "ball" to refer to intercourse? That was popular in my day. I remember bitchin', midnight auto supply, on the make, skag, the fickle finger of fate, and Chinese fire drill.
