If that made no sense to you, check out "The Hippie Dictionary" by John McCleary

I've got a better idea: Let's not.

I had to put every term that I could remember in the dictionary

Surprisingly, the haze cleared enough to allow 700 pages....

"Are you feeling screwed, blued and tattooed because the man slipped it to you?"

Nope Never been to San Francisco.

A comprehensive FReeper dictionary would be much more useful. Try the following with anyone outside of FR and see what reaction you get...

"Man, I was Freepin' along fine when this hugh and series vanity hit the sidebar! I could tell it was a Troll, so I didn't need to hit the shower. I checked my Sister for moose bites, and the cheese was fine, so luckily my beeber didn't get stuned."

As an indication of how hung up the baby boomers are on themselves, imagine a dictionary of Roaring Twenties slang being printed in the mid-1960s, forty years after the fact.

"It's the bee's knees."
"I'll say she does!"
"Solid, Jackson."
"Get your flivver, and we'll spoon."

The fact that no such dictionary was ever made suggests the Greatest Generation was not only heroic and self-sacrificing, but prone to live in their present, not a distant past.

My Dad was born in 1911. I can remember him using the expression "Screwed, blued and tattooed" as early as the 1940s. Hippy talk it ain't.
