I can't help but wonder where they are getting the expanded police...

You can find them frequently at donut shops.

I guess I need to put the hubcaps back on my old beat up Caddy........maybe wash it, too........

I guess something old is new again.

In 1968, I knew an elderly man who referred to his beat up old car as a "hooptie".

He also referred to Channel lock type pliers as "em ole crookedy plars".

He was always talking about lost things being: "Summers"

I felt a certain sadness for him.

It is an old word.

In 1988, Sir Mix-a-Lot released a song called "My Hooptie". Even then, it was an old term.
