“Huh huh huh huh huh.” “Heh heh heh heh heh heh. Fire! Fire!” “That was cool.”

There was an ad for a carpet company or something in the Chicago area. Used to freak me out:

What do these popular sayings tell you about when I was born? There was no TV so I couldn’t use ads, so these are from popular slang speech.
Murder = excellent
Solid = first rate
Chick = girl
Dig - to appreciate
Ticker = heart
Jackson = greeting similar to “Hey man”
In the Groove = moving along nicely
Duh = pretended ignorance (the most popular slang term for my first year on earth)
So when was I born?
Lip-smackin’, whip-crackin’
Paddy-whackin’, inka-nackin’
Zillaga-whackin’, Scallaga-whackin’
Cracker-jackin’
(deep inhale) Cracker Jack!
(sung)

Born in 1959, grew up in Cleveland area. I remember the line as “It’s 11 p.m. Do you know where your children are?”
