That would make for a neat & cool & wild & far out & sweet task
if anyone could locate using Google a web site that has a record
of local language and dress used by teenagers from 1950s to now.

My hearing has always been poor, something about a condition
called tin-in-i-es or tintinnabulation, combined with voices :o)
that have always been with me as people who were invisible,
i thought, ever since i started "taking notes" on life at age 2.

But anyway, that beer commercial "Whatsssss Up" was only
made clear to me after i read it in print, as i couldn't understand
the words no matter how many times i listened to the ad on tv.

But then it confused me, like the Simsons "Have a Cow"
since "what is up" i thought was equal to "heads up"
or "check it out, whats up"

Neat, like a shot of booze.

Cool like Miles Davis.
