I am not old enough to be a baby boomer but I started to take a test to see how much knowledge I had. Before I clicked on the “anwsers” my computer crashed & I lost the cite I was on so now I have no way of knowing the anwsers. Unless…somebody here knows:D
Here are the questions I coulnd’t anwser. See if you know them.
1)World leader that pounded his shoe on the table at the United Nations
2)Running Bear’s Indian maiden
3)Stage name for Perry Mason’s opponent who NEVER won a case
4)Graduated 6th grade so he could cipher figures for his uncle
5)Said "Don’t trust anyone over 30
6)Raised in the woods so he knew every tree / Kilt him ((7 words)
7)I’ve got smog in my noggin, ever since (4 words)
#1 Nikita Kruschev, premier of USSR #4 Jethro Bodine, nephew of Jed Clampett. #5 Abbie Hoffman, professional Yippie #8 When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent. #9 Good night, David. Huntley/Brinkley report.
Ginchy was Kookie’s word for attractive/sexy/hot.The only person in the universe who ever used it,as far as I’m aware.
One of the numerous catch phrases in tv/movies that never caught on in the US vocabulary.
To see a prime example of these phoney/pseudo hip manufactured words in action see an early 50s movie called Scene Of the Crime starring Van Johnson.It gets regular play on TMC.I always wince when hearing some of that dialogue.Raymond Chandler it wasn’t.
Teen movies of the later 50s also had numerous examples of it.
For the shoe banging incident google “we will bury you”
The rifleman was Chuck Connors.Don’t know their series names,never watched it.
Bonus BB points,Connors was once under contract to the cubs as a firstbaseman,as was Peter Marshall, Hollywood squares host/ brother of actress Joanne Dru.As a baseball contractee he went by his real name of Peter LaCock.
Small wonder for the stage name,tho I guess it would have played well in Porno
Always wondered the connection between these three groups of children. Maybe by being the 3rd, the 1st can become the 2nd? After getting banged-up as a 3rd, the 2nd join the 1st?
These questions are hard for baby boomers? You gotta be joking; I knew quite a few of them, and I’m only 27. Hell, I knew the Davy Crockett theme song, and I’ve never even seen one episode of the show.
