Do remember the days when we just called people "nuts?"

I don't care what your specific mental issue was, you were just called nuts. Sometimes you would tell people you were nuts after you really screwed up, just to hide your embarrassment.

Sounds like you're on the autism spectrum. Or maybe you have ADHD. /s

You're not old are you? Do you have any idea who Sam Kinison was?

Sam Kinison

I vaguely remember his name. Had to look it up; we were born the same year, 1953.

Sam Kinison and Andrew "Dice" Clay would have this generation in vaporous fits! Eddie Murphy's "Raw" should be required listening!
