Dated American insult for Whites most often used by Blacks and sometimes Latinos. Heard often in the 1970s but no so much anymore.

jiminy cricket

An old term for not saying Jesus Christ, thus not using Christ's(God's) name in vain and not breaking one of the 10 Commandments or blaspheming. Usually used with emphasis.

Now people say: Jesus!, Jesus Christ!, geez!, or geez Louise! instead.

The term is older than the character from Disney films: a talking, singing, and fancy-looking cricket.

Puka Shell Necklace

Mid to late 1970s necklace made of small round white shells.
Worn by surfers, it caught on and was a big fad. Worn usually snug around the neck; they were a status symbol until about 1980; they came back in style for a short time many years later.

Me: (HUH?)

Bozo no-no

A mistake or rule broken.

Made famous by Bozo the Clown.

Usually made by a child but sounds funny when you tell an adult they made one.

From an urban legend that is supposedly an episode of the old Bozo kids TV show when a cub scout was playing the spoons game:

Trying to hit one spoon and pop the other spoon lying on top of it into the empty glass for a prize (no one hardly ever won that game cuz it was so hard!). Well...the cub scout lost and said "GOD DAMN I MISSED!" Bozo then stated "That's a Bozo no-no!"...the cub scout stuck out his middle finger at Bozo and said "CRAM IT CLOWNY!!"

Everyone my age has heard of this but no one has ever seen it...thus an urban legend.
Johnny you are coloring outside the lines in your coloring book--thats a Bozo no-no!

Don't eat paste Harry thats a Bozo no-no!!

Didn't you know cussing in church is a Bozo no-no?!
