    A few words for you to peruse. If you are of "a certain age" they will be familiar to you. Others of a younger set will say "Huh?"
    Do you remember......

    fender skirts
    curb feelers
    steering knobs
    suicide knob
    neckers knobs
    Continental kits
    emergency brakes
    foot feed
    clutch
    dimmer switch
    running board
    store-bought
    Coast to coast
    world wide
    wall-to-wall
    in a family way
    expecting
    Unmentionables
    picture show
    rat fink
    percolator
    DynaFlow
    Electrolux
    SpectraVision

    Some words aren't gone, but are definitely on the endangered list. The one that grieves me most is 'supper.'
    Now everybody says 'dinner.' Save a great word. Invite someone to supper. Discuss fender skirts.

    I can respect someone who I do not agree with, but I have NO respect for someone who puts others down in a public forum. That is the hallmark of someone who has no integrity, and cannot be trusted.

    Or curb feelers.

    Rat Fink and "Big Daddy" Roth. What a guy, a true American artist.
    I dream of the day a chicken can cross the road without it's motives being questioned.

    Open a supper club.

    I think fender skirts is dead though. I recall curb feelers and I own a car with a clutch!
    Be Not Afraid.
