"Back in the day".......

[Vanje]

...,,,...Back in the day, people didnt say, "back in the day".
They said, "in olden times"
or "in long ago times"]
or "in days of yore"
or "Back when"
or "when I was a wee girl (wee boy)"
or "Once upon a time, in a galaxy far away"


"Back in the day" is a phrase born NOT back in the day.
