10. Bobby Brown had a song called "Humpin' Around" back in 1990.

Not sure if that proves anything, but there ya go.

Plus, I remember some kid telling me he had "humped" my mother back in 1983, when we were both eight. Seemed implausible at the time.

12. First time I saw it was sometime in the '70s

in a "Little Annie Fanny" strip in Playboy. This bon vivant had a coat with an electronic Cyrano de Bergerac thing that fed him suave lines. He was about to score with Annie, but when he took off the coat all he could say was boorish stuff.

Last line: "Annie! Don't go! I'll put my coat back on and we'll hump!"
