Come to think about it...we all carried pocket knives. Boys and girls alike. A must have. Kids today, it's a smart phone.

Heavens to Mergatroyd came from a cartoon. I don’t remember the name of it but it starred a lion in a tuxedo. His other catch line was “Exit, stage left.”
Top Cat He was an alley cat
the kids still call it doing doughnuts.
The health food store near me used to sell recycled toilet paper. Next to a stack of it they would have this sign:
Holy Moly - they recycle this stuff?
Cowabunga, Dude! Gnarly!
No, that’s not the one. It was Snagglepuss. And he wasn’t a lion, he was a cougar.
And the famous quote 'Everything Louder than Everything Else' on the intro to 'The Mule'.
That’s right and didn’t Snagglepuss have a buddy? Was that the hyena?
Mom never, never never swore ... but when she *did* let it slip ...which was extremely rare...it was *damnation*.
You triggered some really sweet memories. THX. ;)
I know he had a sidekick (all cartoon characters do, don’t they?) but I don’t remember who it was.
“Mom never, never never swore “
My mom didn’t swear, either. She was an innocent. Once when I was home from college we were having Sunday dinner and Mom had news about a girl in our church. She announced that, “Gale is knocked up.” I said, “MOM!!” She asked, “Is that dirty?” I said, “No; but it’s close, and it definitely doesn’t sound nice coming from the preacher’s wife.” Oy!!
I have no idea where she heard the phrase. She’ll be 95 this year, and is still innocent. We love it.

Along that vein, I came home from college [this was in the 60s] and Mom said, *I’m glad you’re home; been meaning to ask you [in a whispered tone] she asked what does *gay* mean?
Bless her beautiful soul, she lived and loved until 92 y/o; was a sharp as a tack. Bless your Mom as well.
We called it doughnuts too.
Some of the best fun you could have in the winter with your clothes on!

Mr. Inspectorette always called it "caddy-whompus".
When we said something was catty-whompus it meant it was haphazard.
“Everything was just shoved in that room all catty-whompas”.
“Knucklehead” still exists for us Antique Harley Aficionados.
Or in my case “AficionadA. (Feminine form of a Spanish Noun)
Then I won’t tell you what we called Brazil nuts.
