The phrase good old fashioned butt kicking always brings a smile to my face. I try to imagine the differences between a modern butt kicking and an old fashioned one, especially a good old fashioned one. Were the butt kickers of yesteryear more accomplished in this art? Do we moderns really know how to administer a butt kicking properly?
You never hear someone say, “Yeah, they lost. It was a thoroughly modern butt kicking.”
If someone did say that, it would probably mean there hadn’t been a butt kicking at all. Perhaps it would only be a virtual one.
It’s not only butt kickings that can be old fashioned and therefore better, which is why I hope everyone has a good old fashioned Fourth of July.
