Let's Get Ready to Tumble!

Er...did, um, "tumble" used to mean something else? In the fifties?

Cause otherwise the Comics Code Authority was a little looser than I thought.

Richard said...: Actually, "give a tumble" was slang for "show an interest in" as far back as the Twenties.

Another slang meaning for "tumble" was "realize" -- as in "Clark didn't tumble to the fact that Lois had been in love with the eyeglasses all along!"; 12:24 a.m.

As for Mark's last name, it was Benton...so it basically rhymed with Kent.; 10:27 a.m.

I'm just gonna ignore rab's explaination of tumbling since the immature route is way more fun.

Good thing Batman Begins didn't take place in this era- poor Alfred would forever be confused as to whether Bats was refering to his car or Bruce Waynes bed.
