OK I have found the word in this ad - I had to know what they were (sorry it is the Monk in me) so with no further adu: "Don't let this girl's costume fool you. She's not really a mad scientist. She's a girl -- a real, live girl. It's just that she has to prove something -- to herself and to her family.
She has to prove that she has a brain and that, if she ever has to compete with men on their own terms, she can do it -- and win. But she really doesn't want to compete with men. In her heart she wants to attract men and eventually, marry one. The girl watcher should not let this situation disturb him, however.
If the girl is watchable, she should be watched, no mattter what her motives or ambitions may be. The same thing is true of a cigarette. If it's smokeable, it should be smoked -- and Pall Mall is the most smokeable of all!"
Thanks for full text extraction/salvage -- I was halfway there.
Wouldn't it be eight shades of WTF and blunt sociology to get a taste of the earlier drafts and supervisory kibitzing in such an ad's development? Imagine the meetings, the cliche-spray of suggestions volleyed in the day. And what other strokes(!) of near genius lost out to the winning species name, "White-Coated Lab-Loon"?

Fortunately, I grew up with this language.
