This has a legacy in our modern language in the same sort of way that words that came to us…

Daytona needed a Daytona touch. I hook you up, Dodge.

Not a huge reveal, but I love that you can buy a brand new car with hood pins.

I do not blame you for this.

Don’t propose to someone who you’re not going to marry is a good idea too.
