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 🙂 ---

Peter Marshall played baseball? Surely you jest! He certainly doesn’t look the part of a baseball player! Here are some BONUS POINTS (I got these right so I will share them with you) 1)Claimed to build strong bodies 12 ways 2)Said “I can’t get no satisfaction.” 3)Miner who stood “six foot six and weighed 245” 4)You’re all invited back next week to this locality / to get a (5 words) 5)Reason the Purple People Eater wouldn’t harm the songwriter: "I wouldn’t eat you cause (3 words) ---

OOps,on preview I see I goofed.It was Marshall’s \*\* son \*\* with the baseball contract,and he didn’t change his name to play ball. ---

I should do another one. What made you able to “run faster, jump higher”? What should you get “when you gotta have a treat, and it’s gotta be sweet, and it’s gotta be a lot, and you only got a dime”? Regards, Shodan ---

“Fat kids, skinny kids…” (5 words) 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? Real head-scratcher. ---

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. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/baby-boomer-questions-warning-tough/212814.md?page=2)
