True. But in many old movies and TV shows, the characters seem to be drinking nonstop, regardless of the time of day or situation, and usually smoking at the same time. Maybe it just gave them some props to use for gesturing 😂

"Songs that made the hip-hooray!" I actually did know Glenn Miller as a kid, but then I was a weird kid. That song is full of mondegreens. "Gee we're old, let's salivate." And, "Mister, we could use a man like her to prove that we're gay!" etc.

Musictionary™ word of the day.

contrabuffoon (noun) A person who embodies buffoonery to an amplified degree, whether through sheer excess, theatricality, or an overwhelming presence of foolishness; a figure whose clownishness, absurdity, or ridiculous antics are exaggerated to an extreme, surpassing those of an ordinary buffoon, achieving an almost transcendent or paradoxical apex of folly.
