I said 'people' shouldn't feel bad. I couldn't give a toss. Some people who've gone cold turkey like to bully people who still smoke. The people doing the bullying may have genetic makeup that enabled them to go cold turkey much more easily.

I doubt it, somehow. Really? 1987? I live in a provincial area, granted, but I'm pretty certain I've heard it semi-regularly over the years.
It did return for a short while in 1993 in the adapted form of: 'Act your age, not your hat size' and again in 1998 in the more abstract form, 'Act your age, not your pizza consumption.' But then sir it did go completely off the radar, until its resurrection in this thread.
Have you also brought back flares and the hula hoop?
