Back in my day

Yahoo meant smuck or putz.
Fist fights weren’t considered an act of violence, they were just a way of solving problems.
The world was void of obnoxious words like gluten-free, selfie, and pansexual.

I'm amazed that anyone would ever eat Spam. Gross!

During nice weather we played outside all day long, roamed all over on our bikes, and came home at dinnertime when we heard the six o'clock whistle (the town siren). In the summer when it stayed light later, we stayed out until the streetlights came on. And some nights we got to stay outside even later after dark and play a game we called "midnight."

Bathrooms were used for shitting, not taking photos!!! a.k.a. "selfies"!!!

We didn't have the internet and had "pen pals" if you wanted to communicate with someone that was too far or too expensive to call on the phone. These letters could take a few days to a week or more to arrive to them so rather than one liners like we do online or gifs/emoji's etc that mean little you had to actually write something of value that was also worthy of that person responding to and spending the money to send it back to you.

European Interrail was incredibly popular. Having the pass, you barely needed to spend any more money (food, laundry, that's it). Nobody spent money in hostels or inns, and that made travelling very cheap.

You just slept in the Train or in the Train Station. It was completely safe.

Your grandma's icebox was full of stringbean casserole and she gave you soda crackers to cure an upset stomach.
