How old are you?

How about "deuce and a quarter" for a Buick Electra 225? Twenty years ago, girls at work had never heard of either the car or the nickname.

About the same time, talking to a big NASCAR fan who was in his mid-forties. Richard Petty's name came up and I said something about him driving Plymouths. His jaw dropped. "He drove Plymouths?" he said in amazement.

Five years ago, was riding with two younger guys I was working with on a project. One was in his early forties, the other early thirties. I mentioned Mae West. Who? Neither one had ever heard of her.

Then there's my son-in-law who thought Dark Side of the Moon was Pink Floyd's first album. Dadgum!

Moxie - for some reason Barney Fife's rant about "pioneer moxie" has always stuck in my mind.
