Very cool...

But I’m 46 years old, and I don’t remember when “boffo” was a popular term……

Me either racercat...

And I have almost 6 years on Tru. Just wondering when this “boffo” term started? I never heard it before now.

Wow.

Well, there you go. Maybe it was just popular in the Louisville area. ;-)

No idea when...

but I think it was an entertainment industry term. I’ve read it in old books or heard it in movies, but he really went to the well to use it here.

Boffo

It was from the 1960’s (I think) though it was short-lived in popularity.
