I just saw one of the old Superman serials with George Reeves. In one
scene,
Clark and Lois and Jimmy are all leaving. Clark turns to them and says,
"C'mon kids."
I guess Lois and Jimmy were originally "kids".
So now we have to ask the question, Why is Superman robbing the cradle?
Is Supes a perv?
A quick look at Phyllis Coates or Noel Neill shows that he isn't. The word
"kids" isn't always restricted to minors. I will occasionally use it to
refer to my younger brother and sister (ages 44 and 42). It was used
affectionately about anyone a couple of years younger than the speaker, just
as a 70 year old man is occasionally called "young fella" in rural New
England.
