Subject: Help me define FOP/MOP/BOP
I'm curious to see what people consider front of the pack. Is that top 10% of a given race?

Top 5%?

Top 25%?

What about MOP and BOP?

I don't know what is generally accepted, but for me, I would say, FOP = top 25%, MOP = middle 50%, and BOP = last 25%.

Top 15%, the next 50%, and the last 35%.

 But then you have your subclassifications, such as FOFOP, MOFOP, BOFOP, FOMOP, etc...

You have to be born before 1973 to get it. I actually have met Cyndi Lauper.

Mid 80's pop rock semi icon, Cyndi Lauper, from the song "She bop".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzpxRd44PpE

I'd forgotten that, she had a few wrestlers of the era that she hung out with...captain lou albano...wow, blast from the past...

I need to stop. I'm dating myself, and that's not legal in most states....

She was big in 1985 with the bubblegum pop crowd and you didn't hear of her at 12 years old?

Recluse. :D

I have an older sister so I've heard of her. There's no way I would have memorized lyrics though.

Now that's funny!

What is also funny is that I, as well as probably many other middle-schoolers at that time, happily sang that song, without having a clue what it was really about.
