Not really. It's a fairly obscure bit of slang. Best I can put together, it was coined by David Crosby of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. And, generally, it's currently most often used in a sexual context.ThirdWizard said:I've never heard that. Is this a sign that I'm getting old?
Demiurge out.

Heard it used *a lot* for many years, and I can say not a single one of those times was in any way sexual.

Wow, this ad sounds totally ineffective. Slang from the 60s? Check. Misusing that slang to play off negative stereotypes in a magazine popular with impressionable young people? Yes. Insinuating D&D is for freaks among a demographic largely obsessed with being accepted? Why certainly. After the genius of D&D For Dummies and hint after hint dropped in interviews about exciting promotional ideas, I expected more than the same dramatic, uninformative waste of space TSR was doing ten years ago- only this time, comfortable with its nonconformity.

Then I can categorically say that you are not getting too old. Because I'm not either, and I was born in '72.ThirdWizard said:Woohoo! '60s? Yeah, I was born in '79.
