Seeing Ralph's "gangsta" reference reminds me of how some terms really change meaning/intent from generation to generation.
Many moons ago I spent a bit over a year flying above some small Southeast Asian countries working for our Uncle. During that time I had left my '36 fordor Touring Sedan at my mother's house. She told me once that a few of the neighbors had come to calling it a gangster car. I suspect because the "old movies" that were shown on TV at the time (or earlier) were those '30s/'40s Saturday Serials that often featured gangsters riding the running boards with their Tommy guns ablaze. A different imagery than today..............though the outcome may be similar......
Similarly, a few years ago I was having a conversation with a younger man and used the "old" expression, "It was an E ticket ride.." in reference to an exciting event. He had a confused look on his face as if he didn't get what I meant. It occurred to me that he had no frame of reference for the old Disneyland ticket book designations that gave admittance to various rides. (For those here equally experience challenged, back when, upon entrance to the park you bought a book of tickets that were designated with the letters A thru E. A tickets were for the really boring stuff, E were for the most thrilling rides, with those letters in between escalating in enjoyment value.) Anyway, in his mind, E ticket meant buying a ticket online.......................ah language!
Cant believe I spent time looking at this junk. 
Or stuff. 
Mark.
