Bill Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Dating in 1960 It was a hot Saturday evening in the summer of 1960, and Fred had a date with Peggy Sue. He arrived at her house and rang the bell. 'Oh, come on in!' Peggy Sue's mother said as she welcomed Fred in. 'Have a seat in the living room. Would you like something to drink? Lemonade? tea?' ' Tea, please, Fred said. Mom brought the tea. 'So, what are you and Peggy planning to do tonight?' she asked. 'Oh, probably catch a movie, and then maybe grab a bite to eat at the malt shop, maybe take a walk on the beach...' 'Peggy likes to screw, you know,' Mom informed him. 'Really?' Fred replied; eyebrows rose. 'Oh yes,' the mother continued, When she goes out with her friends, that's all they ever do!' 'Is that so?' asked Fred, incredulous. 'Yes,' said the mother. 'As a matter of fact, she'd screw all night if we let her!' 'Well, thanks for the tip!' Fred said as he began thinking about alternate plans for the evening. A moment later, Peggy Sue came down the stairs looking pretty as a picture, wearing a pink blouse and a hoop skirt, and with her hair tied back in a bouncy ponytail. 'Have fun, kids!' the mother said as they left. Half an hour later, a completely dishevelled Peggy Sue burst into the house and slammed the front door behind her. Mom!' she angrily yelled to her mother in the kitchen, its the twist 'The bloody dance is called the Twist!' rubecula and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 True this. When I was dating Her indoors, 1958, I was invited to her home to meet her parents for the first time. It was a crisp, cold Sunday and we had been out for a walk in the afternoon. We arrived at her parents home and after introductions her mother took us to the 'front room' where she had laid out tea on a coffee table. There was ham salad, peaches and cream, pot of tea, sugar and milk. There was a coal fire roaring away. My (then) girlfriend asked me to move the coffee table nearer to the fire, so I put my hands under the top and lifted. What I didn't know was that the top wasn't fixed to the base and I deposited the total contents on to the carpet. Still feel embarrassed thinking about it.

US maybe different but "going steady" was never used; I don't know if it ever was over here. I think my parents and their generation were described as "courting". markjazzbassist and rubecula 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Weird development in the computer age; people "going out with" someone they've never met. Mate of my son has a "girlfriend" in America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Where i grew up you were lucky if you got a hello without a knife In your case I would have said a sack, an axe and a club were minimum requirements One of the later ones I have heard was "sniffing" or "going out on the sniff" (I think it is meant to relate to a dog-like hunt for a female) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
