[Ads-l] Slight Antedating of "Joint" (Song, etc.)

[Shapiro, Fred]

The OED has an "additional sense" of the noun "joint" in square brackets, dated 21 Aug. 1986.

1986 Norwich (Connecticut) Bulletin 2 Aug. B5/6 (Newspapers.com)  Lee's style is cool and loose.  In fact, he doesn't refer to his entertainment as a movie.  He calls it "A Spike Lee Joint."
