Perhaps I should leave the selection to your discretion. As I am unfamiliar with which decades you are referring to, I am disinclined to make an uninformed choice.
I'd say gossip for the first, but that really applies to them all in the long run. Gossip had more of a profound purpose back in the day, though. Now it's all about getting your laughs, when back in my day it was the difference between sinking in the social ranks and climbing your way up to a better seat at the table and quite literally so, too. Hmm. Well, I'll go with what I know. Torturing people with railroad spikes, attending parties and plays, and helping the helpless.

[A quiet sigh, then:] Bones hasn't noticed the window, yet. I brought him a pet fish, just in case. Y'know. A preemptive apology.

...a fish. I could make a crack about fish and envelopes, but out of fondness for Red, I'll pass.

[A heavy sigh. That, plus the trepidation about the cold fish comment is all that second subject gets.]
