"Be Kind... Rewind!" is a phrase that many younger people would not know.
Living life in the slow lane

I've upped my standards. Now, up yours.
...and may all your babies be born naked...

Know what, Merlin? Even when I did see that phrase on those primitive moving-picture casette boxes, I never did rewind.
~May the leaves of your life-tree never turn brown.~

Rewind to be kind is an interesting phrase.

Phrase dictionaries are helpful only if they keep up with the pace at which slang changes. For instance, if some old timer asks you "How's your Granny off for soap", should you assume what it means or not?

Not knowing the meanning of phrases has cause many conversations to end on a  wrong note.
If it weren't for the gutter my mind would be homeless.

Note to self, know the meaning of phrases!  ;)

DonaCatalina

Phrases do tend to change their meaning from one generation to the next.

Next we will not be using correct grammer for use of text type grammer.

Grammar is something I've never understood well. I can tell when a sentence looks wrong and can fix it, but don't ask me to explain the rules!

Rules are made to be broken!  ;D

Broken rules can cause anarchy.

Anarchy has its advantages. ;)

DonaCatalina

Advantages of the wealty are something I would like to try, even if it is just once.
