Would the Grandkids Know This One? 07.26.2025​

Hey, GrayViners! 👋

We’re back with another round of old-school slang and fresh fun in our game: “Would the Grandkids Know This One?”

Today’s blast from the past: “Rolodex”

Did this phrase ever cruise through your conversations back in the day? Drop a comment if you’ve used this phrase, heard it in a surprising place, or want to hazard a guess. Bonus points if there’s a memory (funny, nostalgic, or otherwise) with it!

Can’t wait to read your stories and see who nails it!

It was for keeping contacts on a card index file. It went around a spindle with phone numbers and addresses in alphabetical order. It had replaceable cars to keep it current with a plastic lid to close it up and keep my desktop orderly. I haven’t given myself permission to throw it away yet.
 
It was a card holder for contacts, phone numbers, addresses. Usually it was a circular thing that sat on your desk. Alphabetical order. Just don‘t drop it. All contacts were in there. Some color coded.
