    Kinda scarey but as long as I don't see kids pegging their jeans to show of their latest pair of penney loafers. You know the ones that were extra cool if you slid a penney in the slit on the tongue.

    I'm honestly not even sure. Lol. I think it was kind of like "in your face" and you put you hand up to your face. Just something to say after you made fun of someone. (Kinda like burn)

    And they all died, one per year, over a six-year period. Dude was efficient in solving those "didn't get in the kitchen when told" problems.

    Ladies, let this be a lesson. When your man says he wants a sandwich, he means that you need to get him one NOW.

    Do you mean hammer pants? I had a friend who was so fat that was all he could wear.

    They do look like Hammer pants. Very popular with bodybuilders in the 80's.

    Not a phrase/insult but I was born in 85 and my mom definitely dressed me up in ankle zip acid washed jeans and gave me the side ponytail.

    Turns out the side pony is actually a good look for me...I still wear it occasionally.
