Store-Bought

[Gerald Walton]

Got this today from somebody forwarding a list of "old phrases":


Here's a phrase I heard all the time in my youth but never anymore -
"store-bought." Of course, just about everything is store-bought
these days. But once it was bragging material to have a store-bought
dress or a store-bought bag of candy.
