Good to know?
I'm watching Mona Lisa Smile, which takes place in the 50s, and Julia Roberts just used the phrase "good to know." I am itching to find out whether that really is, as I suspect, an anachronism, but I checked the Dictionary of American Slang back in to the library this week. Drat.
(Oh, and BTW, don't bother renting this movie. It's slow, boring, and predictable. I rented it primarily for the costumes, but they're not great either.)
