Frankly, in my opinion,partly to give women equality anyway,Charlie Brown could say “hero,”instead of “heroine”—yes, I’m referring to the feminine form of hero being the homophone for a certain kind of illegal drug-of course, that’s another thing—back in 1977, there weren’t nearly as many people into all of these "negativities"of life, such as drugs and alcohol—heck, back then, it was even, well, “not politically incorrect” to use gay to mean happy or cheerful, still—NOW, on the other hand, it’s a COMPLETELY different story, both with the definition of gay, as we all know too well, plus, with people being TOO MUCH into lives of crime, such as drugs and alcohol. In fact, now that I think about it, seems I haven’t heard people use the term "heroine"to mean “female equivalent of hero”for a LONG TIME—Lucy’s use of it here, even though it was back in 1977—well, something you can picture a big sleaze ball like HOWARD STERN picking up on, that’s for sure, the way he’ll find any excuse, to make fun of ANYTHING.
