Most excellent. To the larger point: Remember we had to wet our hair, put in goop and comb it back? Then came "the wet head is dead" ad campaign and that was the end of the greasers. Greased and combed hair. With a part. And a "wave". Son of Sam said “Brillcream”. Most excellent. To the larger point:

With the rotary phone system we had if you dialed your own number it would ring busy, you then hung up and a few minutes later your phone would ring. Who ever picked it up would hear this funny noise kind of like chipmunk chatter. We would say you got chipmunked. It was best done when someone had 2 lines in their house and that way they were caught off guard. I remember “chipmunking”.
