Delco Hood Ornament

When the chick in traffic ahead of you gets mad and blasts her diarrhea all over the hood of your car
What did she get locked up for? She was tired of getting honked at for driving too slow so she gave the guy a Delco Hood Ornament.

Pre-Delco

Delaware County when it was simply called the "suburbs", where there were trees, back yards, clean streets, and nobody opened fire plugs on hot days since there were some real swimming pools there. Darby-Colwyn and Chester were the exceptions, and were the original Delco. Pre-Delco is a term usually used by older persons who lived in W or SW Philly and remember when those suburbs was where "the rich folks" lived, or folks moved to once they became successful or got a better job, and then they got all hoity-toity, snobby and lost all sense of street-smarts.
Movin out to Pre-Delco Upper Darby, Ridley, or Yeadon used to be the American Dream and were real nice places till folks stopped sweepin off their front stoop, cuttin their grass, and takin their trash cans in, so it's been downhill ever since.
