Phone-based references:
Thinking on an old episode of American Dad (I think it's from season one). Roger and Steve prank call Argentina from Dick Cheney's phone and after hanging up get called back. Steve looks in horror at Roger and says "Argentina just star-69ed us." Would any current generation kids have any idea what that is outside of context?

This is the second reference I've seen to this on SA recently. When exactly did it become the norm in the US for kids to generally be disallowed from roaming around?

I don't know about other areas, but I grew up in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) and we were pretty free-roaming until the DC sniper shootings. Click for info. During that, we were on super lockdown, pretty restricted for a long time after, and never really allowed the free roam that we had had prior to that.
