I was raised by a grandmother, born 1888, who experienced all those societal changes, including parkways, driving cars, new roads, driveways, etc.  She used to say things like, "That can't be a parkway, there's no park..."  She and her sisters would regale me with stories about what things mean, words mean, and so forth.  So, that makes me a bona fide know-it-some.

Good to have you around here then. You can help fill in the gaps for those of us without connection to previous centuries :D

You don't need connections to previous centuries in order to be able to look up the entomology of words...  now, if you will excuse me, I have to fire up the Conestoga wagon and get to my next inspection...  hiyyah oxen!

When driving oxen GAS is a HUGE issue...

You didn't really need to look up Conestoga wagon, did you?
