What normal sentence now would sound very odd 50 years ago?

"The New England Patriots are the model franchise in all of sports."

"The Red Sox have won three World Series."

"You want a drink of water? Here's some bottled water."

"The Bruins have won three Stanley Cups." (Hey, in '66, we were still waiting!)

"Super-size that!"

"An average professional athlete makes millions of dollars, and the minimum is six figures. Even the bad athletes are rich."

"I'll read that book on my Kindle."

"How many points was dinner?"
 
Don't forget

"Press 5 for more options" and Please listen carefully as our menu options have changed."

And btw, do they actually still have operators. :huh:

Cheers, BostonTim

Hospitals still have operators.
