MONOBROWISM

      Monobrow/unibrow (also perhaps the monoboob/uniboob variants we
discussed) goes back a bit.  From PLAYBOY, March 1968, Playboy Advisor, pg.
40, col. 3:

     I suffer from a common but hushed-up affliction: monobrowism.  Every
three days, I'm obliged to shave between my eyebrows or I'm liable to sprout
a five o'clock shadow above the nose.

60

    The "69" T-shirts made sense in 1969--there was a nice Playboy cartoon
about it.  Do people wear "00" now?
    This is from PLAYBOY, May 1968, Playboy Advisor, pg. 53, col. 1:

We recently had a hippie love-in here in Minneapolis, and besides the usual
sweat shirts bearing the number 69, the symbol for mutal oral intercourse,
some people were wearing shirts decorated with the number 60.  Would you
kindly explain the meaning of this number?--R. C., Minneapolis, Minnesota
     It's a less busy form of 69.  The partner represented by the 0 (which
should be understood as a graphic rather than a mathematical symbol) is
active, while the other partner remains passive.
