There you are, you untamed whippersnapper! I still walk with a limp!

I grew up in New Jersey, and never heard such a term. We went "sleigh riding" even though the term was incorrect, and should have been sled. Sled riding, or sledding, didn't have the right sound. We'd 'get on the sled, but once on, we were sleigh riding...
