Thread: Those were the days

My kindergarten teachers name was Miss Sinkpeal. No kidding.
Forgot first second third and fourth but recall the fifth. A radoi man from a sub. Real strict he was. The problem was that my friend Jeff would allways turn around and talk to me during a lesson. Yes, he never learned. The problem was I had to dodge the eraser as it ricocheted off the back of Jeff's head.

The radio man Don used to take us out for a break from ten to eleven. He liked to be the quarterback and we just played along. He was a big guy so I guess no one challenged him plus it was fun to get out and play.

One time while playing he knocked the wind out of me as he did have an awsome spiral. It set me back and I do recall as I laid there gasping for air the man yelling at me to get up and run as nobody touched me yet.


Those were the days.

I do apologize for grammatical errors. I've been off for a week and the Kentucky whiskey has taken a toll. Im supposed to run the chainsaw today but will put it off as now miss fish wants me to take her shopping for things to give away. Go figure.

I gotta say though i never got either that i didn't deserve and unlike the little shits these days respected the teachers - you knew where the line was and if you crossed it what you'd get - fair enough in my book. I only wish the same was true of my dear father.

Some of these slang terms have withstood the test of time. 100 years on and they're still in use.
1. Cat’s Meow/Pajamas – This 1920s slang term was used to say that something or someone was cool, hip, stylish, wonderful, etc. I.e. “Mary sure is the cat’s meow, isn’t she?”

2. Applesauce – The slang word was used as a swear word or explanative. I.e. “Applesauce, I really stubbed my toe good!”

3. Spiffy – This ’20s slang word was used to describe someone as elegantly put together or dressed in expensive clothes. I.e. “That new dress of yours is sure spiffy, Missy.”

4. Wet Blanket – The 1920s slang term was used to say that someone was a killjoy, a downer, not fun, etc. I.e. “Don’t be such a wet blanket, Johnny, let’s go out and see the girls.”

5. Speakeasy – This was used during the time of prohibition as a slang term for an illegal bar or club with alcohol, gambling, etc. I.e. “Joey got us into that speakeasy in the basement of the shoe store last night.”

6. Pill – Used a way to say that someone was not fun, a killjoy or that they were a teacher (and therefore someone who was not fun.) I.e. “She’s such a pill, she won’t let me pass notes in home ec.”

7. Left Holding the Bag – This 1920s slang term was used when someone was blamed unfairly or cheated out of something by another person. I.e. “He split and left me holding the bag when the cops came."

8. On the Up and Up – The ’20s slang term was a way to say that someone or something was legal, proper, good, etc. I.e. “Danny is really on the up and up, he won’t even go to his favorite speakeasy anymore.”

9. Get a Wiggle On – This slang term for the ’20s was used to tell someone to hurry up, get moving, split, etc. I.e. “The cops are coming, Johnny, get a wiggle on before they catch up and we get pinched!”

10. Pinch/Pinched – Used to say that someone was arrested by the police. I.e. “Harry got pinched for robbing a bank last night.”
