😆 Yeah. And what makes this really funny and more than a bit sad is that this is meme-worthy, since there are whole generations that only recognize this from said memes.

Great Granny Panties

Here’s an odd bit of humor. I’m still occasionally hearing the term, Granny Panties. But that’s a bit of – actually more than a bit of – a misnomer. Nowadays, those aren’t granny panties; they’re great-granny panties or even great-great-granny panties. 😛

Yeah, just to make the point clear, thongs started in the 1970s as swimsuits and became popular in the 1980s as underwear. Hence, it was younger Boomers and Gen X that first adopted them. So, for the younger generations, granny panties look more like this:

That’s right, Kiddos. Your grandmothers wore french cuts, brazilians, and thongs as a normal thing. She didn’t wear what are still called granny panties except on rare occasions. 😆

OK. This is a bit hyperbolic and extreme. Our recess wasn’t quite that feral. We never completely descended into Lord of the Flies territory. Still though, compared to the later generations, it was more than little like this.

I'm A Grognard

Yes, I’m A Grognard

Oh yes. I am very much a grognard. I started play Dungeons & Dragons in 1977 with the Holmes edition of Basic D&D. And, yes again. I do have dice older than you in all likelihood. Hellfire! I’ve got dice older than some – probably most – of your parents. 😛

Oh, and I do still have dice just like those from the old game sets when that was the only way you could get dice other than 6-sided.

CQ. CQ. People who get this joke, CQ. 😆 For the rest of you – I’m guessing the younger two generations – go ahead and look it up.
