When I record a show with DVR, I still say I'm taping it.

Sometimes I call jeans dungarees. That one gets weird looks.

twiddle your thumbs (as in "Don't just sit there twiddling your thumbs") Kids always look at me "HUH?"

It's all because they're as slow as molasses in January.

Boogie! In the 70s there would be some guy at EVERY concert who, at some point in the show, would scream BOOGIE! Didn't matter who was playing, it might have been appropriate at a Foghat concert, not so much with the Moody Blues. This went on for at least ten years, it kinda turned into a joke. I remember going to some concert where one of the guys in a band announced "Oh, Boogie is here tonight, he comes to every show!"

I never even heard the expression "cool beans" until the early 2000's. I had no idea what it meant, and in many ways still don't.

At this very moment I am wearing a T-shirt that has "WHATEVER" printed on the front of it. I'm starting to think that I am totally of date... who knew?

I can remember my Dad commenting when we would complain about something. "you'd complain if they hung you with a new rope". I didn't doubt that I would.

Just another way to say COOL

Yea, I know that is what is supposed to say... what I don't understand is why "beans". I watched to many StarTrec episodes and like Mr. Spock I need logic in my life.
