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'.

I don't think so, Gramps  , as David Bowie *officially replaced 'Bip' with 'Wham'... not that everyone else caught on either! http://www.amiright.com/misheard/artist/bowiedavid.shtmlps. 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!

(well,as for me, I wasn't even a gleam in my Daddy's eye in 1958.) -musick 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.
