Apparently, saying "Gyp!" when you get a way smaller piece than everyone else!

Me: Hey, why'd I get the small piece?? Gyp!!!!

DS: Omg, Mom! That term is so culturally pejorative! I can't believe my own mother just said that! Omg! **rushes off to tumblr to tell his followers all about his culturally offensive mother**

That word was such a normal part of my childhood I actually had to google it to figure out that it was referring to Romani Gypsies being stereotyped as thieves and scammers. Who knew?

Razzie & Ascendent - this saying is from way back when there were phones placed in public spaces like parking lots and street corners, and if you wanted to call someone, you put coins in them first to make them work.

Ohhhh, so THAT'S what those things were....and here I thought they were just leftover props from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

So I was sitting on the davenport, wearing my pedal pushers and trying to come up with words that show my age, and CRIMONY, I cannot come up with anything!!

BTW, we referred to scuzzy people as skags back in the day...

DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

I use Gyped all the time and never connected it to Gypsie - I've learned something today!

I may have reached a point where I'd piss on him if he was on fire.... eventually!!

Of course, now my DD laughs when I tell her about my cool parachute pants I had!
