Often-misunderstood-by-adults term used by
teenagers to honestly describe their early years of careful and accident-free driving ("my early wreckless years").
Parents and authorities, naturally, are usually way too
thick-headed and closed-minded to realize what the virtuous teens are referring to, and so they continue to criticize the teens as being scatterbrained and out of control, rather than praising them for their exceptional lifestyles and commendable habits.

Parole officer (disgustedly): Ahhhh... so you had no
brain-sense back THEN, either,
eh?
Teen: No, no, no... what i meant was ---
Parole officer (impatiently):
Nah-

m gonna recommend another three months' probation for the likes of you.
