OldRUSHfan Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) I used to have a plastic ring from one of those vending machines they had at the front doors to K-Mart and those type of stores.... http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Me%20stuff/60s%20toys-%20Rat%20Fink%20rings.jpg They came in those plastic 'globes' with lids you opened. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Banana%20World/sniper%20banana.gif Edited July 29, 2016 by OldRUSHfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is old and senile and knows not what he says. Sorry, just passed my MENSA 'Old Farts' test, and there is NO sign that I have Dementia or Alzheimers. My Brain is as sharp as it was in my early 20s.

JohnRogers Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Zelix is a flat leaver.I don't even know what that meansThat is why I laughed. It is regional and a term I haven't used since 1989. I know exactly what Lorraine means. You're out with a friend or small group of friends. One leaves unexpectedly without notice, they flat out left. The worst is when the Flat Leaver is your ride! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldRUSHfan Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I don't remember where I heard the term, but I did recognise it when Lorraine used it....I myself haven't had that problem, but I've had people at the same party have it happen to them...sux. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Banana%20World/Crying%20banana.gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Where I was raised, "flat leaver" was someone who claimed to be your friend and left you for another friend more popular. It was a popular term when I was a little girl. I didn't realize it was a regional term. :) Edited July 30, 2016 by Lorraine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searching my brain, I heard it in the last 10 years, on a show from Britain, [bBC-America] and that's all i remember! lol Glad I could help, Babycat! http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Banana%20World/banana%20grin%20teeth.gif Edited August 2, 2016 by OldRUSHfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Your Solid Gold Awesomness, It is with great urgency that I bring you this message. As you know, my homeland has been ravaged by vile thunderstorms for five days now. Due to the ongoing rainstorms, I am unable to enjoy evenings outside on my porch without my hair becoming thoroughly soaked. My humble request is for you to bring fair weather upon my land, so that no one should suffer the consequences of wet hair in cold, air-conditioned houses after braving the elements. In return, I shall offer you a sacrifice of Coca-Cola, as I am too young to handle alcoholic beverages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
