[Richard in Anaheim CA]

I have never heard that expression before.

However, it was common knowledge in the late 1940's and into the 1950's that you could pull the shift lever up out of the detent and push it up under the dash while driving while allowing more "digital" adventures when transporting your date.

I could only imagine what would happen if the keeper on the shift lever came out while driving and performing those games, so I amused myself with other adventures.
