QUERY: This one's gonna be fun...

[Kathleen Miller]

Safire's been outta college for more years than I've been alive. Me, only
seven years have passed, but when he asked me - "what's the phrase kids are
using today to mean 'getting to first base'?" - mugging, scamming, and
hooking up all seemed terribly out of fashion.

Those of you who still have contact with people under 30 - what say you?
