Re: “[reference link for those unfamiliar with paper matches]”
Some friends and I were thinking of other phrases that are so foreign to the experience of current generations that you’d actually have to explain the origins of the term:

Dial up a number
Drop a dime
Turn the channel
Insert another quarter
Be kind — rewind
and (almost) Phone Book, but I think they’d still know what one is.
