the Flatiron building ended at 23rd st. It's wedge shape created a wind tunnel there that would blow up ladies skirts. Too many men in the park across the way would gather to gawk... '23 skidoo' was the police lingo to make them disperse.

Oddly enough, they didn't use Kool-Aid in Jonestown. It was an off brand.

I would guess by far and away most of today’s US population doesn’t know where the phrase originated.

Right. But what flavor was the Kool-Aid?

It wasn't Kool-Aid at all, it was Flavor-Aid. And grape.

“Son of a gun” is one of my favorites. Well worth a punch in the nose if you knew its origin.

I would suspect most people younger than 50 would not know the reference incidents for the expression "drinking the Kool Aid"!

I asked my 20 year old if he knew the origin. I’m relieved to know that he did. We try to keep him informed.
