New Year's Eve 1961
Long
Karen is getting ready to go on a date, when Ralph stops by to pick her up, but she's not ready yet, so he sits in the living room with Karen's father and waits.
Just to make conversation, Karen's dad asks Ralph,
"so, are you kids going to be screwing at the party tonight?"
Completely blindsided by the question, Ralph stammers, "E-excuse me, sir. Did you just say
'screw'"
"Oh sure. You know, Karen learned how to screw over the summer, and she just loves it. She turns on that rock'n'roll music and screws all day. Heck, she'd screw all night if we let her. I'll betcha all the kids at the party will be screwing tonight."
Ralph turns a beet-red while he's trying to process all of this, but before he can reply, Karen comes downstairs looking absolutely gorgeous: perfect hair, beautiful dress, the works.
"OK you two kids drive carefully and have a great time!" And they drive off.
Ten minutes later, Karen stomps into the house, her makeup schmeared, her hair and dress disheveled.
"Goddamnit Daddy-o, IT'S CALLED 'THE TWIST''
