70's Kid's Expressions?
Metz of LA
Have a favoriate expression from your childhood that you thought would would
die with disco? Such as:
"I know you are, but what am I"
"I'm rubber, you're glue, what you say about me ounces off and sticks to you"
I'm writing a film script and need your input. Please reply.
Thanks,

Sit on it (happy days)
Up your nose with a rubber hose (welcome back kotter)
Go stifle yourself (all in the family)
The devil made me do it (flip wilson)
Dyno-mite (good times)

How about Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?
Most of the other kid sayings that come to mind are pretty universal,
other than those we took from television. One thing I have noticed,
the word COOL has been around for a long time.

Here's a few:
"Tattle tale, tattle tale, hang your britches on a nail..."
"Nah-nanny boo-boo, stick your face in doo-doo..."
"Last one to open his milk is a rotten egg..."
"First one has to eat it" (rejoinder to above)
and a couple more from TV (someone else posted a lot of 'em already(
"God'll get you for that" (Maude)
"Get off my case, toilet face!" (Welcome Back, Kotter)

"Liar Liar, pants on fire, hanging on a telephone wire."
-- heard this one on All in the Family
A follow-up to "Up your nose w/a rubber hose" was "Twice as far with a
chocolate bar"
"Your epidermis is showing!!" Those who didn't know that the word
merely meant skin would desperately search for any unzipped or unbuttoned
garments.
Naa-na naa-nee boo, boo
Well excuuuuuuuse me!
Joy910
later it was "sit on it" a la Happy Days. Others:
"Off my case, toilet face" (Kotter)
and anything Three Stooges like.

"fruit", meaning "gay", or just as a general term of disapprobation (I
remember shocking a classmate by saying, "Well, of all the fruit things"
- about what, I have no idea - she thought it was a horribly bad word)
And some California-isms that I heard for the first time in the early
70s:
"you're outta your gourd"
"gag me" ("with a spoon" hadn't been added yet)
"for sure for sure" for absitively posolutely

I always heard it "XYZ PDQ", the latter triad standing for "Pretty Darn
Quick".
An alternate means of handling this situation was to ask:
"Are you afraid of heights?"
"No."
"Your zipper sure is."

An extended version of that was:
"The flood is over
The land is dry
Why do you have your pants so high?"
Also popular was this version of "Happy Birthday":
"Happy birthday to you
You live in a zoo
You look like a monkey
And you act/smell like one too."

I was just talking about this yesterday, but what cracks me up is when people
say "h - e - double hockey sticks!" I hear this more from conservative adults
- never from any kids!
The other one that just came to mind:
(when riding on a seesaw and you're the one on the ground)
Buster, Buster, Buster Brown
What will you give me if I let you down?
(variation: What will you do if I let you down?)
And finally, the one I'm having trouble with -- wasn't there some name people
would call a kid if they were being a dork that came from, say, our
grandparents' generation? Something along the lines of "you're such a _____"?
Maybe something like Ethel, Mortimer, etc.... help! I know I'm not crazy!

I read on a bathroom wall once:
"My mother made me a homosexual."
"Really? Well, if I buy her the material, will she make me one too?"
Oh, H - E - double toothpicks, I just remembered another "verse" saying:

There's a "baby baby suck your thumb"/"baby baby dig in your ear" but

My mom told me about a jump-rope saying
Motorboat motorboat go real slow
(turning the rope slow)
Motorboat motorboat go real fast
(turning the rope fast)
and they keep saying saying the 'go really fast' and increasing speed
until the person jumping gets out.
I know this is 80s but remember Duble Dutch Bus? Did that come from a
jump-rope craze in the late 70s early 80s?

On Top Of Old Smokey
all covered with snow
I shot my poor teacher
with an old forty-fo'
I shot her with proudness
I shot her with pride
I couldn't have missed her
she's 100 feet wide
I went to her funeral
I went to her grave
Instead of throwing flowers
I threw a grenade

All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
when somebody sneezed
It rolled off the table
And onto the floor
And then my poor meatball
Rolled right out the door
Rolled into the garden
And under a bush
And then my poor meatball
Was nothing but mush

That mush was as tasty
As tasty could be
And early next summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss (my comment: Huh?)
It grew lovely meatballs
And tomato sauce

We used to sing the friends song like this:
Oh little playmate come out an play with me
and bring your dollies three
climb up my apple tree
slide down my rainbow
into my cellar door
and we'll be jolly friends forever more
I never heard the enemy verse before, sorry I missed it as a kid. This is a
really fun thread. So many memories ya'll are bringing back!!

Boo hoo, hoo hoo hoo hoo

But we'll be jolly friends
Forever more.

Very nice to have you here Tricia!

What are the ages of most people here? Were you mostly BORN in the 70's, or
did you mostly GROW UP in the 70's? Maybe people should put their
birthdates after their names or something!!
I was born in 1973 -- so I was pretty young in the 70's, but I remember lots
about that time!

Here's the way I always heard it:
McDonald's is our kind of place,
Slap a hamburger in your face,
Stuff a french fry up your nose,
Filet-o-fish between your toes,
And don't forget those chocolate shakes
That come from polluted lakes
McDonalds is your kind of place...

Here's another classic:
Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay,
There is no school today,
Our teacher passed away,
She had a tooth decay.
We put her in the bay,
She scared the fish away,
Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay,
There is no school today.

My mom is the same way, but ironically my sister (who's a year younger than me
and basically grew up in the same generation) backs her up. They both act like
I'm just making this stuff up.(like when our elementary school sold those cool
Bicentennial T-shirts and I must've been the only one in class to not get one;
Mom said maybe next year--which of course was 1977 and they didn't make them
anymore...)
Anyway, I'm glad I'm not alone.

I'll start doing that as often as I can remember. I was born in January 1964,
so I grew up in the 70's--began it by receiving a toy car for my sixth
birthday, and ended it by getting my driver's license and the keys to a real
car ('73 Caprice).

McDonald's is my king of place
They serve rattle snakes
French fries up your nose
Hamburgers between your toes
Last time I was there
They served dirty underwear...

I was born in '66...
Dixon, believe it or not, you are not alone...I drove a '72 Caprice land barge
with a small block 400. The only two advantages to this car...big trunk for good
bass response of the sound system, and a big back seat! ;-)

OHMIGOD!!! My sister says the SAME thing!! She says stuff never happened and
backs my mom up too!! She will look at me funny and ask if we were raised in
the same house in the same family!! Maybe I actually grew up at your house

Erin - relieved to find a group that's my age or older...my IRC crowd is
pretty much 100% younger than I am <G>.

Mine was a V8...got surprisingly good speed. But you're not kidding about that
back seat, no sir! Today's kids are really missing out on that one!

LOL...that would explain everything...one of those X Files tractor beams that
just messed up the whole universe.
But I know she's my real sister because she's still that mean. ;-) j/k
What *really*drives everyone crazy is when I come up with some goofy memory and
then find a photo to back it up. That really gets their goat--like the shot of
my sister with her Dorothy Hamill haircut!!

Night Live.

>Night Live.
That one, and "Well excuuuuuuuse me!" from Steve Martin, both have special
places in my heart. They're the ones that got me spanked by mom, who didn't
know from SNL and thought I was just being a smartass.
Michael E. Kotler
How did I get this way?
The boy next door to me
He stuck it into me
My mother was surprised
To see my belly rise
My father jumped for joy
It was a baby boy
another version had the line:
"He paid me fifty cents
To go behind the fence."
And along those lines:
Jack and Jill
went up the hill
to have a little fun
Stupid Jill
forgot her pill
and now they have a son
Jack and Jill
went up the hill
to have some hanky-panky
Jack said "Ooh"
and Jill said "Aah"
and out came little Frankie

>Night Live.
That's funny....I was just explaining to my 8 yr old that that saying was not
made up by one of his friends as he was thinking. He didn't believe me so I
went and dug out The Best Of Belushi tape Friday night and plugged it in for
him.....now he's going around quoting Belushi lines...it's so funny!!
