Toward the recent end of my career, I worked with a lot of young military types. All of them pretty smart, but not familiar with some things. I had to explain a lot of these terms and origins to them. My favorite one was “rabbit test” for pregnancy. For all of their lives it’s been peeing on a test stick.

I take it the phrase "Can't catch me, 'cause the rabbit done died", would have left them rather clueless.
