GUEST,K. L. Wilson	Folklore/Linguistics: What's a Rinktum? (111* d)	RE: Folklore/Linguistics: What's a Rinktum?	01 Jun 18
My husband's grandparents were born in 1919 in southern Oklahoma. They told us that after you got a haircut you were supposed to say "Venture rinktums" on your first meeting. A failure to say the phrase gave the other person the right to pull your hair at the nape of the neck, which was called "getting rinktums." Apparently they were really hard up for entertainment back then.
