      Umm, excuse me, but I believe you’re missing a “start” and/or “select.” pushes glasses up nose

        This is how you know they didn’t have friends. Select & Start was the end combo for two player cheat.

              No, it’s just one B A. Maybe somewhere down the line there’s a variant or two but in its true and unaltered form the Konami Code is UUDDLRLRBA

    Not a word, but the phrase “going online”. As in not being constantly connected at all times. We had to actually “get” online to look at stuff.

      I still laugh thinking back to 8th grade when my buddy, Tyler, got his first pair of JNCOs. To paint a picture, Tyler couldn’t have been more than 90 pounds soaking wet and had a bowl cut (being it the 90s). He had a big goofy grin on his face and goes “check it out - I can fit a whole 2 liter of Mountain Dew in my pocket!” And sure enough, he pulled a full 2 liter of Mountain Dew out of his front pocket.
