Do you recall the phrase br from yesteryear, called br 'FENDER SKIRTS.' br Perhaps 'curb feelers' br or even 'steering knobs'? br br Remember 'Continental kits? ' br They were rear bumper br extenders and spare tyre covers br and made cars look as cool br as any Lincoln Continental. br br And how about the ride br with Dad on sturdy br 'running boards'? br br Or 'wall-to-wall' br it was a term br much used in our homes. br Those days we covered br hardwood floors, br with wall-to-wall carpeting! br Today we cover our floors br with hardwood to be 'in'. br br If you were pregnant br you were in br a 'family way' br as the term 'pregnant' br was too graphic br or too clinical. br br To be polite br you mentioned storks br you were 'expecting'. br And how about br 'brassière' for bra br or 'unmentionables'? br A 'picture show', which br could show what they called br 'ratfinks' which was so nasty br you would need a permit br just to think it. br br You got up in br the morning to start br the 'percolator', br you watched the br 'spectravision' br or listened to the br 'wireless'. br br Kids got 'castor oil', br there were those br 'telethons' for all conditions, br such as 'lumbago'. br or the 'vapours', br you were sent br upstairs, br without your br 'supper', br today it's 'dinner', br and 'political correctness'.
