I ONLY knew that (I'm 31) from the movie Four Brothers. In which Tyrese Gibson's character starts throwing them at Andre lol!
How about phone exchanges as part of the number (WAlnut 4 2446?)
When did I go from being "Miss" to "Ma'am"?
Do I look like a Sir to you?

It's how old people send each other secret messages.What's cursive writing?
I know what it is, it's just when younger ones don't.
I have ET (go home ...) so my cursive has always been crap. I have printed most of my life.What's cursive writing?

Correctamundo and it was used because here is the layout of the IBM 024 keypunch keyboard, note what a pain it is to enter numbers:That is the program card drum from a keypunch machine, (probably an earlier IBM 24 or 26, based on the lever lock at the top.) It told the machine which columns were to be keyed, which were alpha, which were numeric, duplicated, skipped, right-justified, and so forth.

The 024 was obsolete in the early 70's when I was at school (that's why they were there). When I went to another school we had the 029 keypunches, OMG!, what a difference! The keyboard was actually laid out like a typewriter.I never used a 024, but I did use a 026. Later spent a lot of time with a Univac 1710 keypunch machine. I graduated first in my keypunching class because I was the only guy who could do 10-key by touch. Skilz, I tells ya. I gots skilz!

The things I say that make me feel young are what make me feel old occasionally. Dealio, no joke, nice and crazy all seem timeless to me. Last night I was telling a couple in a mineral spring hot tub that I recently went to an America concert. They thought I was at a Trump rally. I had to explain that America is a 70's rock band and we recently saw them at a casino.
Somethings just cycle. I like rock, my older kids like rap and my grandkids like rock. My grand daughter wants me to go to a Greta Van Fleet concert. They kind of sound like Led Zeplin to me so I might go.
