LOL that's still mainly technical-English "invented", not "used" or "innovated" or popular!
The only thing mentioned here that was at all *prevalent* in the '70s was the "PONG"!
The TV was "invented" in the '30s but it did NOT become known and widespread ("innovated") until the '50s! Someone saying TV is typical of the '30s ("a '30s thing") is being absurd.
See what I mean now?
Again I apologize, but things like that just drive me nuts! They give wrong impressions to people who have absolutely no clue and need good history lessons. ;-)

In 1988 a group of 5 old 70's rockers formed The Travelling Wilburys. I remember a joke from the time..."He's so ugly, he should be an honorary Travelling Wilbury!"

I believe there's probably a few phrases from either before or after the 70's. If you can remember that phrase from way back when, then your memory is awesome dude!
To: girlscout
Q: Can you dig it?
A: No, but I can spray it.
My sister and I thought that was an absolutely BOSS retort in the early 70s to those damn hippies that lived in the commune down on State Street Perth Amboy, NJ

"Acceptable" is different from "known".
Surely I would've *heard of* this if it was ever really popular! Of course, my sister being older would be a better source.
Heck, I know things/styles people now claim were big in the '80s but I never ever heard/saw them, or hardly ever saw them to say they counted or were "big" (i.e., representative of the culture at large)!
This also brings to mind something my mother claims lately. That in the '50s "square" was a GOOD thing and "square guys" were nice straight-laced good boys. My only knowledge of it is as a deragatory term (same thing, I guess, but different bent - nerd, geek, dork).
Same kind of thing. I still doubt her that such meaning was prevalent!

IIRC=If I Recall Correctly
It means I'm using my memory and I could be wrong.
IRC=I recall which seems more certain in my book.
