Change

 

Many years ago

A young man would

Hopefully approach

A young lady

And ask

“May I have this next dance?”

Her reply would usually be

“Yes, thank you”

 

Years later

Same question

Same reply

Same meanings

But in different vernacular

“You and me

Let’s cut a rug”

Reply

“Yeah daddio

Eight to the bar”

 

Times and more`s change

Not always for the better

You stopped before you got to, "Hey, wanna hook up?"

In some cases a look & a nod does the job. Strange, but true.
