The Law Explained

According to local lore, a particularly cranky town official in the early 20th century was so annoyed by the popular catchphrase 'Oh, Boy' that he drafted an ordinance to ban it. It was viewed as youthful slang that degraded the dignity of public discourse. While utterly unenforceable today, it remains a famous piece of local legal trivia.
