“Getting pinned” did not mean sex. It meant the guy no longer wanted to be a player and date only one girl. He would give her the pin he received for a specific school accomplishment (in high school, usually a sport). They were then “going steady.” She would wear his pin on her clothes so other guys knew she was not available to date. Back then this was a huge deal and totally innocent.

[@kenaldri4923]

This song is totally an ode to the rotary dial phone. Maybe the best example I know of. They were stationary if you recall. You ran to it, and picked it up when it rang. Only a few places in the house could you talk on it, and if your talking bothered someone else, they had to move, not you. You also had to share it but it was forbidden to secretly listen in on someone's conversation from another phone. Privacy was not always guaranteed. Ah, the memories.

Hi JudgeHill83, car phones have been around since the late 1940s starting in larger cities. They had the equipment in the trunk to make the calls. It used the Civilian Band (Ham Radio).

Noel Gallagher from Oasis dated an American girl from San Francisco who kept saying it because of this film. He used it in a song, named the album after it and the rest is history.

[@jamespardee6103]

Paul Duca Quite a few, but things were different than today. Lots of the things associated with modern wars were not clichés like they are now. In fact, most were taboo, and it was not uncommon for families to never allow talk of someone from their family who had been killed, so as not to "upset" other people, both in and outside the family, since there was so much controversy about the war, that it would only make matters worse to quarrel with someone over a mentioning of the deceased. Also many middle class kids felt morally and socially obligated, rather than entitled, so opting out of some form of conscientious behavior was often frowned upon by one's peers, often to the disdain of parents who grew up during WWII, and were taught that all America's wars were moral and just.
