Working to save for college... [sigh] They start you so early these days. :/

"slide fastener" - now that's a new one for me!

Seems that the term 'zipper' was coined in 1923:
"The toothed zipper tapes were called “stringers.” This modern zipper was patented as the “Separable fastener,” US Patent 1,219,881 March 20, 1917. The B.F. Goodrich Company, which used the zipper for rubber boots, coined the name “zipper” in 1923."

This makes me want to see if the song about zippers from The Electric Company ever got uploaded to YouTube.
