Awesome Shit That Has Disappeared

did you all ever had what we called a “slang book” ? This was in the middle school years.

It was a spiral notebook, and each page had a question at the top... and you answered the question (Do you like Joan Jett, who do you have a crush on?) for example. They had sections and most were yes or no questions.

You signed your name in the front and were assigned a number, then did you answer and your number underneath.

Like this

YES
16

They were fun and how we got to know each other. The slang book was passed around from person to person. We got fun pens and things to decorate our slang books.

It was easy to get away with playing in them while in class!

These books were MUCH the threads here, only they did create drama sometimes (SO Unlike the threads here, Haha)

The things we did before the internet.
