Things no one said in 1975

Where’s the beef?

I’ll have a diet coke. (it was launched in 1982)

“You play the guitar on the MTV”

In 1975 it would have been a Tab.

In 1955 no diner would let an out of towner put his meal on a tab.

Don’t worry. We’ll just catch an Uber.

Acid is groovy, Kill the pigs.

Technically true. But I bet no one in 1975 called out, to an empty room, phrases such as,

“Siri, what does 7 ounces of butter weigh in grams?” and the like.

Though I suppose we can’t be 100% sure.

Well, and in places like CA, they they don’t say “weed,” they say “sativa,” or “indica.” Or you might offer to buy “edibles,” not weed.

“Dammit, my bank is down, and I can’t get DoorDash, after I spent 20 minutes figuring out my order!”

Genuine whine heard in my presence a couple of months ago.

Graduated in 1974 and had no interest in learning to drive. Finally did so I could take my turn driving the gang around.

I need to get my car smogged.

That picture is AI slop, look at the six fingers and three legs.

“tlhIngan Hol vISaH”

Sun Myung Moon was probably saying that around 1975.

“South Vietnam is falling? We should send American troops in to help.”

I guarantee nobody was saying that in 1975.

errata:

My email was hacked, just delete it if you get a message saying I’m in trouble and need money.

“Next week, I’ll be flying from New York to Singapore for business. At 18-plus hours nonstop, I’m not looking forward to it.”

My husband (by a man)
or
My wife (by a woman)

Oh, god, I hate Spam.

Umm..oh wait. Disregard.
