For those of you not born yet, "Mate Swapping" really did exist in the 60's, where two couples would exchange partners for the night/weekend.

Of course, these days, that's too crude a term.

Now, it's known simply as "Intermartial Extracourse".

Tranquilizer drugs have always been around it seems like though.

'Course now the Yuppies have a new one. It's not so much a tranquilizer though -- it makes them enjoy being tense.

A lot of you are under the impression that "Flatbush" is a term denoting an area of Brooklyn, a borough in New York City.

Not so ! That term was coined in the 60's when the girls first started wearing skin-tight jeans.

Today when a girl says she got "bad vibes", we all know it means that she received some kind on negative mental transmission from a person.

Well, back in the 60's, it referred to a malfunctioning intimate massager unit.

That Australian "Bush Jacket" that's all the rage these days ain't really all that new of a term.

Hell, that's what we used to call bikini bottoms.

Back then we had a real potent alcoholic drink called a "Harvey Wallbanger".

Haven't had one in a long time though.

Since I've over 55 now, I'm more of the "Harvey Wallbender" type I'm afraid.

One tradition that hasn't changed though is the color black being associated with funerals.

A Yuppie, informed over his cell phone that his wife had just been killed in an air tragedy, asked the bartender to put a black olive in his next martini.
