tight jeansYeahbut®, we were into tight jeans, too, Cap. Even the bell- bottoms had to be tight till they flared out at the bottom. Just never wore 'em in a tub to shrink 'em (but mebbe some the of ladies did and just didn't tell anybody...knew a few gals who whose jeans were so tight we used to say that if they got any tighter they'd suffocate...'course, we didn't mind!  ) into; get into; I can't get into that There's another Sixties' lingual gem that's come to stay!

In reply to:
(why do we always spell hippie with a small "h" and Beatnik with a capital "B"?)
Maybe so the latter isn't taken as a command.

spellings?Another spelling question: hippie or hippy? I see it both ways...but I think the "-ie" is the original spelling. Yippie and yuppie is always the "ie" suffix. But, then, George Carlin was "The Hippy Dippy Weatherman", so I dunno...

You "were told"? So does that mean you WERE part of them? <grin> (Mercy, I'm so glad you're here!)

I can't remember if I remember the 60's. I can remember not remembering the 60's. I remembered not to rememeber the 60'...or the early 70's either! I remembered the 60's for awhile...but then I forgot I remembered it. I remember all of the 60's!...but I forgot where I put it. Man, all this remembering is a real drag! ... what a drag, kind of a drag. (my memory of the 60's is actually very vivid... my 60's didn't start happening until about '69-'70 or so...)
