The term "BOBFOC", which I used today to describe Aphex Twin's video for Windowlicker. I was a bit surprised as I thought it a well known bit of slang, but not apparently with 20 year olds.

Who I've just realised were 2 when that song was released.

I might try a Matrix reference tomorrow.

Bay watch was ages ago. You would have to be late 20’s to remember the series. And older to get the acronym.

Yes! Now it's the 30th highest grossing movie of 2017, that's going to put it right back in the popular culture discourse.

Though - obviously - Victoria and Abdul acronyms will be more readily understood.

It enjoyed only a brief period of currency.. At a time when both Bay and Crime were being watched avidly. I remember there was another one, referencing Timewatch.

LOL never heard of Crime or Timewatch either,

Hitting a tree in a much more poorly made version of this, and taking out your two front teeth and a huge shiner! I can still see the tree coming at me and pulling the string and nothing happening

That's where the feet came into play.
