Then you had to explain to the board who your *young driving companion was!

Not necessarily.

I believe this is a slightly risqué reference to sexual gratification. More upon request. -faldage

Thank-you-ma'am:

1. phrase, Brit. a considerate commemt to a Lady for a kindness given.
2. vulgar, Amer. Chiefly used by Faldage and his cronies. circa 1958. As used..." Naw man, weren't no romance, you know me- Bip Bam, Thank you Ma'am -and I was back in the truck,"

3. current slang Amer. a speedbreaker, sometimes humorously equated with Faldage's 'Bip Bam'.

Bip Bam? I don't think so, Gramps , as David Bowie *officially replaced 'Bip' with 'Wham'... not that everyone else caught on either!

ps. I wasn't yet even a twinkle in my parents eyes in 1958...

Oh, Musick!

What a cool site! I'm goin to spend some time there!

Depending on what part of 1958 you are talking about, I was either a twinkle...or beyond. Birthday is March of 1959!

It is right that Musick and David Bowie celebrate their youthfulness. But the sky-gods cry when they celebrate their ignorance of manly things as well - old Sioux indian saying.

Bip Bam (Thank you ma'am): The Clovers, Atlantic Records, 1954.

Well, even I might barely have been a gleam in my Daddy's eye for that one.

In reply to:

When in Britain I noticed Mothers were most often called Mum by children. Can/will any Brits help me out here?


Certainly mothers in the UK are affectionately addressed as mum, not that US'n abomination, mom.
