Re: First watch: Jae
Date: 2014-03-20 09:32 pm (UTC)It was commonly used in the Valley in the eighties. "Hey, that's awesome, dude." Popularized maybe by movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The Bill and Ted movies. Didn't stick out for me at all.
I was more thrown by the idea that someone would be "overpaying" a baby-sitter the sum of $8.00 an hour in 1981. I'm a pack-rat and still have my old paycheck stubs. I was only making a little over nine bucks an hour then and I was an RN. With a degree. That figure was preposterous. Someone's superconfused about what they paid their sitter. Probably because it was their wife who did the actual paying.

Date: 2014-03-24 06:46 am (UTC)$2.00/hr would have been a fair wage for a 17-year-old. $3-4/hr would be extravagant. I'm guessing for not much more than $8/hr, you could get yourself a credentialed teacher.
