Barry everyone knows pedal pushers are pants that are longer than
shorts but shorter than pants...girls wore them all the time in summer
when I was a kid- but not to school. Girls wore skirts and dresses
until 1968- at least in my suburb. Today they are back- called caprice.
But putting the pedal to the medal was a hip expression for greasers
[you know who they were, right?] who had drag races and listened to
Elvis and obviously there weren't any in Winnipeg [I am a former
Torontonian myself]- I didn't think anyone used it anymore! It's so
fifties! [remember the Safire article I shared a few weeks ago?]
Thanks for the smile~ [I just couldn't resist ...]
