Being that I do not hear that term anywhere now, except for my family, I assume it is a cultural phenomenon that belongs to our generation and it hasn’t extended beyond that.

Thanks. I was curious as it was the mentoring term used between the older children in my family to the younger ones.

Rick was ‘Best pals’ to Tim, Carol was ‘Best Pals to me, and Kathy was ‘Best Pals’ to Liz.

Being that it was a red letter term in my family and that you used the term, I was wondering of its origin. Thats all.

I don’t know, it just came out. But I never made that term up. It’s been around way longer than I have.

I don’t understand the fascination with cats.

"Mostly John is, because he really, really, really wants me to be his best pal, and, well, I donâ€t." Where did you get the term 'Best Pal', Meryl? Is it a term you made up or is it a throw back from childhood? I am seriously curious...
