Yeah, I see how they slot in now with the whole Ed "Big Daddy" Roth Weird-Ohs craze (circa 1969). There's a cringey "Leave it to Beaver" TV episode whose existence shows the cultural impact the "weird ohs" had on suburban norms (Beaver and his boy-pals each have a weird-oh shirt they agree to all wear to school on the same day ... well, you can guess how that plays out).

Hmm, pretty sure the Beav was long gone from the airwaves by 1969…
They seem to have meant 1959, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Roth
