My younger brother brought eternal shame on the clan when he used the phrase "nard guard" while bragging about his tricked out BMX in front of my Aunt, only to be asked, "What's a nard?" A reasonable question to ask, if you didn't grow up in the early eighties. My brother hemmed and hawed, and finally had to resort to pointing.
Ah, nard guards. They were like legwarmers for boys --- totally useless, but their absence would be noted in the daily schoolyard coolness reckoning.
