When was "the day"?

"They" will tell you, "Just a couple click's away".

 

I don't think you can peg a year on it, it's whatever era the particular person remembers having good times or being happier than today. Personally, "the day" to me is the present. It's quite depressing being around someone that lives in the past.

 

"the day" is a variable with direct correlation to ones age. It is not a specific time in the past. You have to put it context of the person saying it. Back in "the day" for me would not be the same as back in "the day" for my father, or his, for that matter.

Or

June 12, 1972

 

"The Day" was June 11, 1989 when I was struck by lightning and became ruler of the unknown universe.

 

OK, as long as we're on this subject.....

Back in the day, was there a certain room somewhere which housed "The Table?"

and the door to this room...was this "The Door" in which there was "A Foot?"

And when one was halfway into this room, with his "Foot in the Door" and a "Deal on the Table", did the clock on the wall read "The Eleventh Hour?"

Do tell...

 

"The day" describes "the day" that was "the day" of "the day" that made "the day" "the day".

 

Just ask Doris.

 

TW3: That Was The Week That Was.

(BBC then NBC; later, "Not the 9:00 News", and later still, "Not Necessarily the News", and even later still, "The Daily Show", and last year, a closing song on ABC Primetime Live.)

Originality in TV?


That'll be the day.

 

June 12, 1996


That day the musice was sweet, the beer flowed like wine and, the skirts practically tore themselves off...

 

Techincally "the day" singluar is in the future, as in, "that will be the day." "The days" were in the past, because those were the days. They also don't make them like they used to. This applies to expressions and good topics on F-chat.

 

Do tell....

 

I would but I don't really remember much. Something about a bar called The Frog & Onion near the dockyards in Bermuda...

 

..and the women flocked like the Salmon of Capistrano.....

 

Oh, you were there.

 

Why yes...........

 

How about those legs? Went all the way up, didn't they?

 

Always a leg up!
