Doughboy, but not the one from Pillsbury.
March 5th, 2007
How many of you would know what I meant if I referred to the doughboys of World War I?
I used the term in a conversation, viagra sale cialis today, medicine and none of the people I was speaking with knew what I was talking about.
Since I’m not old enough to have been around when the term “doughboy” was in common usage, this leads me to the conclusion that I am either extraordinarily well-read, or we just don’t pay enough attention to history nowadays.

If you aren’t old enough to have been around when the term was common, I’m not sure you should be casually dropping it in conversations!

I feel like you’re giving me the bum’s rush.
I guess I’ll just 23 skidoo!

What’s worse is that in a history course of that era I’m in right now…my peers didn’t know what that meant.
World class education here, ya know.

You’ve got no peers, Jenna. Just classmates. ;)
