those were the days

A phrase older people such as parents use to exaggerate the greatness of a certain event. (even if they are talking about leeches) Also see... back in the day, way back when, and good times.
Grandfather: I remember, one time, me and Jimmy went down to the swimmin' hole. Course, back then we didn't have those fancy bathin' suits y'all have now. So anyway, when we got out, we were COVERED in leeches. Ou-chie! Man, those were the days...
