I am fifty-four, live in S.CA and I grew up calling these playground 🛝 slides.

When it was hot outside however these things used to scorch my legs & I avoided them like Covid.

What took so long to invent the plastic slide??!

Born in 1956, so I am 67.
Raised in Delaware County, just outside Philadelphia.

That's a sliding board.

My (adult) kids think I've lost my mind. It's a slide to them. Clearly, I have failed to raise them properly. Though they ARE iggles fans.

From WV originally, 45 and we never called it anything but a Slicky-Slide. I read through the whole thread and only this post stated similar. Agree, pretty silly and redundant name but it was great fun, except when there'd be a line all the way up the steps and a kid would balk at going down.

I’m a third generation DC native. I have never -ever - heard anyone say wagon. Take Out and Carry Out are both used as well as “To Go”.
