PP way back in thread. Fairfax County native, 50, who called these sliding boards.
I also said teeter totters, waited IN line for carry out and a merry go round meant music and ride on horses. The spinning metal wheel (of death) was called...? Honestly can't remember.
What did we call those painted metal ride on animals atop a spring?

+1 exactly, though I'm 40. My kids are at camp this week in DC and this morning the counselor referred to the "sliding board", which made me smile. The term is still in use!

I recall The Wiggles referring to it as a slippery dip. Is that what adults call it in Australia?
