YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM THE OLD SCHOOL WHEN

You call Pants, Britches.
You call the Refrigerator, Fridgedaire or the Ice Box
You call a wash cloth a Rag
You say wrench off instead of rinse off
Your tie has a clip on it.
You're still saying Solid

When you walk with your girl down the street and you have her walk on the inside of the sidewalk. If you walk next to her and she's on the outside showing her body to cars passing by, that means she's available.

[DISKOQUEEN99]

But I have old school people in my family, seriously. My mom and great aunt don't believe in all the new technology and gadgets. Bothe still have MAYTAG wringer type washing machines and use them. My mom has an automatic though and a dryer and uses them, but for some things, she'll still use the MAYTAG. They still have those old washboards too. My mom still cooks bacon for the grease (though those Crisco cans are not made of the same material anymore). She saves the bacon for me. My aunt STILL uses a rotary phone and has a DREXEL # (she lives around 48th & Cottage Grove). The number is like DR3-xxxx. My mom still had hers until about 10yrs ago when I called the phone company, got her touch tone service & a phone. I needed to page someone from her house one day and couldn't. That was it for me. These ladies are OLD, OLD SCHOOL!

Heres a few:
When people start calling you "Sir" & "Ma'm".

When styles that you used to wear when you were in your teens are back in style while you're an adult.

When young peeps feel that you can't relate to their problem because it probably didn't occur when you were young.

Do any of you guys still believe that? Wow, All the guys I know still do this but for totally different reasons. We do it out of respect and manners for the lady. Also, it is for her protection as well.

Sad somethings didn't carry over to some of the next generation.
