#BackInThe70s, we didn't have racists, we had racialists. There was a huge marketing campaign when they brought out the first racists. "Racists! The racier racialists."
No, not really. But people of my generation can't pinpoint exactly when it changed.

#BackInThe70s, "twat" wasn't considered a Top Swear: it only became ubiquitous in the mid-'90s, when TV comedy needed a suitably aggressive stand-in for The C-Word. When it *was* heard in the '70s and '80s, it was pronounced "twot" at least 60% of the time.

#BackInThe70s, "paedophile" was unknown to most of the population. Kids were told not to go for rides with strange men, but we assumed it was because we might be kidnapped and held for ransom like in "The Professionals". Some things were simply Not Discussed.

#BackInThe70s, the phrase "game over" was new to us. First used by pinball machines in the '50s, it didn't become popular until "Space Invaders" (1978 again), although scriptwriters working on historical dramas don't seem to understand this. We didn't say "I'm good" either.

#BackInThe70s, the word "issues" was never used to describe personal problems (e.g. "trust issues"), only technical problems (e.g. "there are issues with the Z80 microprocessor"). The first time I ever heard the modern usage was in a 1997 episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

#BackInThe70s, nobody had heard of "duvets": we called them "continental quilts", only available from Habitat, a mystic fortress wherein dwelt the Hairy People. Even in the early '90s, the word "duvet" was still new enough to me that I found it hilarious. Likewise "tog".

#BackInThe70s, everyone in England called it ice CREAM. But we became so saturated with US media in the '80s that children started saying ICE cream, like the kids in America, whoa-oh. This is now the norm. (Also, I suspect we may soon be saying ROBIN Hood rather than Robin HOOD.)

#BackInThe70s, the word "underwhelmed" didn't exist. Obviously a play on "overwhelmed", it started appearing in the late '80s as a joke, but now its dictionary-approved use massively exceeds that of its ancestor word. It's just the perfect adjective for a disappointing age.

Dans l'arrondissement de Philippeville, 1 accident sur 6 implique un conducteur ayant trop bu, quasi un record en Wallonie. Mais le bourgmestre de #Doische trouve qu'il y a trop de contrôles ! via @lavenir_net

@lorrainemking @JJyabbas A couple things need to happen first before we really find ourselves in the past. The electricity needs to go out around 4 o'clock and the bin men shouldn't pick up the rubbish. #backinthe70s

@HumbugToby That reminds my ancient human of when she used to plait her hair while it was wet then go to bed and have crinkled hair in the morning #BackInThe70s
