It's packed with so many super tips that every Billy and Sue out there will exclaim, "Golly! Can we watch it again?" Yes indeedy, you can! (Stick around afterwards for a few bloopers, too.)

Great!

This was hilarious! You should have seen my high school kids saying "What is he doing?!!" LOVED IT!

Vintage Slang

Creative and fun, but did you have to use the term "Greaser" to describe someone you might have to look out for? That pretty much curdled my coffee. I'm sure you could have come up with a better vintage term,

From a Disappointed school librarian in San Diego.

It's perfect

I think you're mistaking the term for another.

From the Urban Dictionary:

Greaser: a person who dresses in rockabilly fashion and styles his hair in a pompadour or other tall retro hairstyle with a petroleum based pomade, such as seen in the movies: Grease, the Outsiders, West Side Story, Rebel Without a Cause, etc.
