Think back to when you were a kid...

No, no, when you were a kid, like between 7-14 (possibly a little older) nothing to do with cars or guns!

Transmission or guns, with that age range. Nothing at 7 I think though.

Between 7 and 14, does any male think of anything other than cars and guns? EDIT: Yeh, ok, bewbs.

Yes, cars, and guns. That's what Automatics means to me. There is now a band in the UK called the Automatic? Do they know something we don't?
 
oh. welp, we used the term automatics when we were playing wiffleball with 2-3 ppl (i.e. if you hit it past said tree it was a double, over the fence in the yard was a home run, a runner advances 1 base on a single, etc.)

I'm only in my mid 20s. I think by the time I entered that date range, the term 'automatic' was reserved to distinguish between different types of operation, and not as a generic term for devices that were automated (dishwasher?), since damn near everything that could be automated was.

ok. so how would you have worded it?

edit: what i wanted to know was, did anyone use the term "automatics" in that sense.
 
HAHA! automatic...I remember

autoamtic home run if you hit the fence, or it hits passed a certain line.

otherwise cars/guns ^_^

I want to see if it was a local term or not.

The term "Automatics" meant nothing to me at first.

But, now that I have read the thread to this point, I do recall saying that certain things were "automatic" when playing certain games. I do recall using that term in reference to home runs and outs, but we called them "automatic home runs" or "automatic outs", but never "automatics".

The OP is useless without the later explanation.
