as a clear member of this demographic, i have to say both of these senses 
ring the same vague bell, like a greeting i recognize but don't usually 
hear in my circles.


it does, however, remind me of "strapping", as in "that strapping young 
lass in the black skirt that brought me beer last night".  :)
