(btw, when did the word "date" become a euphemism for "have sex
with"?)

In the Garden of Eden.

Really?

In these parts, "date" used to mean "go out with, having a certain
ulterior romantic motive as the hoped-for outcome". It did not mean any
sort of committed relationship, nor necessarily anything happening in
the Studebaker.

But somewhere in there the meaning got changed.....

Of course that may be a local thing. There are many local Phillyisms
and even Delco (Delaware County) isms not well known outside this area.


For example, there's "skootch" which can be both a verb and a noun.
Also "smack", (as in "don't be a smack"). It refers not to an illegal
drug but to an annoying and immature person.

"Prune" means a date without the ulterior motive. Platonic, IOW.

"Downashore" refers to the Southern New Jersey coastal area.

Then there are "shoebies" and "two streeters". And of course sending
people to 14th Street.
