Hunkering
Adults of today will remember when planking was all the rage, but once upon a time, that same trend existed with what kids were calling "hunkering." Throughout the 1950s, college students would squat atop tables, chairs, desks, and pretty much every wacky place they could. Instead of getting a funny picture, it would surprise friends with their unusual stance.
Graces
Women used to be prized more for their womanhood than anything else. One way to celebrate and practice gracefulness, a ladylike quality in France, was playing a game called Graces. While playing this game, a dainty hoop was tossed between wooden rods, and women dove to catch them. You know, ladylike.
