"I'm trying to make a snowman on top of that hill." "But every time I get close to the top, the stupid snowball rolls back down!" "Sisyphus!" "Panty waist!"
I wonder how many adults, let alone children, know what a pantywaist was? I came across it in a mystery novel written in the 1930’s. A child’s undergarment, shirt and shorts that buttoned together. Weird how the derogatory meaning has far outlasted the actual garment.

Caulfield wins that one, although that went way over the other kid’s head.
