: All right, I'm not sure what the heck you people were
: arguing about, but I'm gonna stick my nose in it
: anyway. "Living memory" is a generic phrase
: that basically refers to the time when people started
: getting sentient and started passing things down up
: till present day. Basically all of known human
: history. Now I wonder: Am I clearing things up,
: muddying the waters further, making an ass of myself,
: or just gibbering insanely?

: Doom

the second and last.
living memory is in the best of my knowledge, LIVING memory, i.e the longest back anyone around at that time can remember.
For example
"The coldest winter in living memory"
IS NOT the coldest winter in all recorded history.
IT is the coldest winter anyone still alive can remember.
