Sometimes you rented a game because everything you really wanted was already rented out so you settled.

Reply to TIL that the first use of the phrase "son-of-a-bitch" in American literature was in the 1823 book "Seventy-Six" by John Neal about the American Revolutionary War. Seventy-Six was criticized at the time for its use of profanity and was noted for its use of colloquialisms. by vrphotosguy55

Never heard of John Neal and reading his wiki entry seems like a pretty awesome guy. Way ahead of his time on many issues. I think I'll give his books a read.
