Slightly OT: My wife and I had a wierd conversation with my kids last night. We were talking about slang through the years, and how the description of an attractive woman has changed. We noted that in the late 70's we used the term "fox", and in the 90's it was "babe" and today they use "hot" a lot. What I can't remember is what the term was in the 80's. Does anyone remember, or am I going to have to rent "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"?

I think "fox" lasted into the early to mid 80's, and "babe" I think took over after that... I don't remember anything in between.

In the early 70's it was "tuff" or "tough." At least in my small pond....

For me, it was "Will get restraining order" or "May not get restraining order."
