Our male correctional officers used to call the male youth as bros so the kids would feel more comfortable with them. I used to cringe every time they did.

I would always call the kids Mr. Last name which was proper protocol. But I’m a woman.

Despite his politics, I always respected Neil because he always tried to do the unexpected.

I remember when the “Trans” album came out, all of his devoted fans hated it, I think it was one of the best things he ever did.

A gasser was not a fart.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
But it's all right, Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas!

Far out man, that's a real gasser.

    "We've got no room in the cab, boy." His Uncle
peered around as if he might find some. So did the
young man.
    "Far out!" he said. "Really far out."
    "How's that, boy?"
    "Far out, Dad," he replied, "a real gasser."
    Did he mean the car, the old man at the wheel, or
the whole kit and kaboodle? The boy did not speak
this language but he understood it was complimentary.

Calling a fart a gasser came later.

I lived through the 70s and I’d never heard of four of these.

Some people were still saying solid in 1991.

KRAMER: Hey. Hey, would you do me a solid?

JERRY: Well, what kind of solid?

KRAMER: I need you to sit in the car for two minutes while it’s double-parked. I gotta pick up some birds.

JERRY: Birds?

KRAMER: Yeah. A friend of mine, he’s a magician. He’s going away on vacation. He asked me to take care of his doves.

JERRY: So take a cab.

KRAMER: They won’t take a cage full of birds.

JERRY: I can’t. I’m on my way out. There’s no way I can do it.

KRAMER: George, do me a solid? Two minutes.

GEORGE: Well, I’m going with him. I’d like to, I’ve never done a solid before.

KRAMER: Alright.. yeah.. alright, have a good one.

As long as you didn't appear in blackface or wear a Klan outfit, you're good.

No. My parents taught me better to respect all races and backgrounds.

Northam has got to go! It is unacceptable. And they are saying that red MAGA hats are racist? Baloney.

“Able Baker Charlie to Roger Fox Dogs....Able Baker Charlie to Roger Fox Dogs...”

“Hey man, somebody’s really talkin’ bad about Roger, man!”

Took me years to finally get that one!

I still don't get it. I might have to blaze a doobie to grok that sh!t, dude.

Everything about that whiny bastard Neil Young was “odd”.
