Thread: A remembrance email

I enjoyed that, Gary! I am of the age that it was all recognizable and part of my childhood and growing up days.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, when you consider the alternative) I recall most, if not all of those words or phrases and if I gave it some thought, could probably add some more, being a card carrying senior citizen that takes advantage of every discount

Great email! I remember those phrases too. Here's another for ya...My pop always called paper bags, the kind you used to get at the grocery store, sacks. And it's truly sad about the clutch part, you're right about kids not knowing what they are today....CR

My favorite is "church key", something I used quite often in my misspent youth.

Soda fountain and soda pop, now AMPM (mini mart/gas) and bottled water

When I was growing up in Tn. we called a paper bag a Poke, why I'll never know. A soda water drink was a Dope. I am old as dirt ,so yes I have heard most of the above.

What ever happened to the Front Room, Floor Boards and the cars we used to Double Clutch? Still love my 06 Charger though.
