What were the "cool" words...

[shadows Forum Member Find all posts View Profile Close shadows]

... when you were young?

(Assuming you're old now!)

I know most of the ones today but I was trying to think of some from before 1980 and discovered "groovy" was the best I could do.

That's BITCHIN' = that's good.

quit BITCHIN' = stop complaining.

cool it = calm down.

He's a farmer = he's very uncool.

Can you dig it man = do you like it?

get down = do drugs.

That's all I can think of right now.

Why would you assume anyone here is old?

Far out topic, man. Cool....I can dig it, but I'm like strainin' my brain here to come up with some boss words and I just can't get hip with it. It's like I've lost the groove and they're not comin' to me at all.....know what I mean?

My 19 yr old daughter thinks I'm old...so I must be, because she knows EVERYTHING! :-)

"cool" was the word when I was young. We used it like a comma.

Well, I'm still kinda young, so my words are "man" and "dude". The following is a sample of a "dude" conversation....

person 1: "Dude!"---Look at that
person 2: "Dude..."---Interesting
person 1: "Dude?"---Would you like to take a closer look?
person 2: "Dude!!"---Hell no!
person 1: "Dude?..."---Are you sure?
person 2: "Dude."---Yes I'm sure. Now please, stop asking.

Groovy. Far out. Out of sight.

Okay, so I'm old. Big deal.

I can only remember words my kids used when they were in high school.
