I have to agree with you. Little kids did not swear, parents could, but many didn't inside the house. And even then, my dad had only a few favorites when the hammer hit his thumb or he bumped his head.

I remember when conservative Bill Cosby, of all people, told the story about how his father used to call him and his little brother Russell, home. Bill's father didn't call him, Bill. And Bill’s mother was always “sick and tired”. It's a classic and might even be 50 years old. That was edgy back then.

At the risk of leaving out the men, how about all the ways of saying a women was having her "monthly"? Oh there were so many codes, "OTR" meant on the rag, and a nicer one was 'a visit from your friend" or "its that time". Anyone remember having to ask the home economics teacher or to see the nurse for a pad before they had vending machines. They cost a dime and it was the most humiliating thing. "I need the pass to see the nurse", are you sick? "No", and off you went. Having an extra pad in those days was not easy to conceal either and never wear red pants or someone will think "it's that time".

Remember this:
You and your pals are walking to the car or stage coach I suppose if you are old enough, and someone yells "I got shotgun". Then the rest would argue about who called it first.

I want to know if:
They still call girls "stuck up" if they ignore you anymore? One of the downsides of being annoying means you get to meet a lot of "stuck up" girls.

OH we loved the "Chinese fire drill", I actually saw one about 2-3 weeks ago, driver and passenger running around the car to change positions at a red light, too funny, brought back memories where we would have 4-5 people running around the car changing positions at lights and stop signs.

It must terrible to live in China if your house catches on fire.

I roared with laughter the first time I heard "You're cucumber is trying to leave the salad" said to a guy who's pants were unzipped.

And for me and my three sisters, it was Aunt Flo paying a visit.

Being pregnant is another one -- women generally were "in the family way" or "expecting." What, exactly? Everyone to understand what that meant?

I think even kids today would still know what "expecting" means, but it does grate on me a bit when young couples claim that "we're pregnant." That's some kind of anatomical miracle, if you ask me.

you're stretching my rubber band (when we got on my dad's nerves); you're as dumb as a chicken who doesn't know when to come in out of the rain (also my dad-who grew up on a farm).

He is so dumb that he can't pour **** from a boot with the instructions on the heel.
