The Way Back

While listening to an episode of A Way With Words, titled "can of worms", a caller asked a question about what people call that furthest back area of a station wagon. The caller said they called it, back in the '60s, the "way back."  

Do you remember calling that area the "way back"? The hosts said it was a rare expression. I seem to remember that was our phrase. 

As a bonus in that episode, there was a question from a five-year-old from Bainbridge Island about the meaning of "cats" in tic-tac-toe.
