Thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize the phrase was that old. I've only just recently heard it anywhere. I was certain it was brand new.
Far out!!

And some of them, like my parents never boomed unsuccessfully...

I agree totally with Jamie. Because men/boys don't have the responsibility of carrying the baby in their bodies, they seem to be less in touch with the idea that they too are responsible for the pregnancy resulting from their irresponsible behavior. In addition, I think that as a society we are too quick to lay the majority of the responsibility for a pregnancy on the woman/girl.

Although I was initially confused, I think I figured out what you're saying here: You didn't watch as faithfully last year as you did this year. Right?

Wow! You actually remember what grade you received on this test? Must have been traumatic. You might want to invest in a dictionary...
