Remember that phrase? It’s from my childhood, and referred to someone passing gas. Today I was in the kitchen, slicing cheese for lunch. #4 asked for some, and I said he was welcome to fix it for himself. “oh.” he replied,”I’ve never cut the cheese before.” I started giggling and he was all “what?” So I explained to him why I thought that was funny.
The incident reminded me of other phrases from childhood. “here come da judge!”
Remember that? Sammy Davis Jr. on an episode of Laugh In. We watched that episode recently (viva la Netflix!) and #4 pulled it out on his 4th grade teacher (a 55 yr old veteran), who thought it was hilarious, but all the kids in the class just thought he was strange. He comes by it naturally.
What about calling a hot person a fox? remember that? Foxy Lady, ooh David Cassidy is a FOX, you know Bruce in Ms Campbell’s class? What a FOX!
Cuttin’ the cheese, tho…that’s a classic. What do you remember?

I remember “groovy,” as in cool. Everything was groovy – a groovy car, a groovy song, etc.
And “man” was the word, instead of dude. Hey, man, let’s go to the beach.
And “gross” – as in disgusting. Ooh, that guy was gross.
