Thanks for the post, Dick. Unfortunately a lot of the words I use are not in it. Just as well as they should not be learned by children any way.

Thank You, I learned something already.

Dagmar

Dagmar (Virginia Ruth Egnor)

1. Large bullet-shaped protrusion on bumpers of cars in the 1950s. It was named after the nickname of a buxom television star, Virginia Ruth Egnor (1921-2001).

 

Cool, thanks Dick

 

At a quick glance I noticed lots of terms regularly used that are missing or different; POS means something besides positive battery terminal to me. Slick is more than a tire with no tread. Darkside is missing. Still lots of good stuff thanks.

 

It was something I ran across and thought it might be of use to some.

Being as I didn't compile it, I know it's not perfect.

 

Thanks for the post, Dick, I certainly can use some "edumacation". And thanks for the pic posted by Merten, NICE DAGMARS!
later, Mike

 

I knew what Dagmars were, but never knew how they got named.
