Dean Martin And Danny Thomas Teach Charo English...Which Explains A Lot
Ah, the 70’s. When all you had to do to be a famous Latino was have a great body and act dumb. Wait. We just described the entire cast of “Viva Hollywood.” Maybe the good old days are still here, but we can only reminisce about variety hours like The Dean Martin Show and the way Dean used to pronounce Charo’s name, “Sharrro.” Oh and the way his friend Danny Thomas used to just hang about kind of creepy like. What an old.

I love your closing line. “What an old.” You folks are too cool and/or bored to even put in the object. “You readers add a noun for yourselves…we lost interest in this story in the last sentence.”
What a great.

Actually, that’s what the kids are calling old folks these days, “the olds.” Calling Danny Thomas “an old” was my way of saying he’s outdated and irrelevant. Like your slang vocabulary.

I don’t what kids say that because I’ve never, ever heard it. Any region in particular?

And here I just took it as a Spanglish thing “Que viejo” “what an old…”
But I guess I’m silly…
