Quotes of 'our' day.

Does anyone remember being called a 'Kumquat', or when wanting to ride back seat on a bicycle around the Circle, one would say "can you pump me" (meaning; can you give me a ride on your bike)? Or that the 'Philippiniose only like to eat the doggie doggie". What about "no way Palaia"

Just going down memory lane, again! That's all.
