"Wind up the window". :)
CincyCat,I can imagine the looks you get with that.Michael
Running boards, chamber pots, drive-in movies, bit and brace, fuse box, mimeograph, hectograph.
John,Great list! I tried explaining a mimeograph to a young person the other day without sounding ultra-primitive.I didn't succeed.Michael
