If you think of all the words from the
"typical 80's slang" the only word that
has a lasting affect is "awesome".

you got
Gnarly
Tubular
Radical or Rad
Bodacious
Excellent
Choice

I'm blank on the rest.
Help me out.

Thanx to Bill, Ted, and
the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
for these memories.

Awesome still rules slang.
Just read the forum for awhile
and it's obvious.

I say it all the time too.

YOu forgot>>
Dude,
Man,
Bro,
In no particular order.

[Poprocksz]

Bro works.
But I thought "MAN" was from the sixties.
and "Dude" was from the seventies.

who cares anyway....this is a bordom thread.

lets vote for the best slang word ever.

my vote is for-Awesome

[sacrelicious]

Awesome is in the dictionary. "Inspiring or characterized by awe." Duh.

[roundeye]

what about 'larry'? thats pretty contemporary/suburban.
meaning a complete retard, as in: 'check this fuckin larry out, sheeeit. what a larry. his actions are foreign and seem rather larry-like to me, a mere suburbanite.'

I know.
Thats why I asked if it belonged there.
Rather than the other words.
Even if awesome wasn't a slang word to
begin with.

And roundeye
I never heard that one.

[edible snowman]

maybe its some kind of canadian thing. "rad to the max" is great. or "Xtreme," with a capital "X" because it looks cooler.

[Poprocksz]

I'd love to hear slang from different
countries.

especialy aussie.

[sacrelicious]

Roundeye: Too cool. We call my friend Eric "Larry" because, well, he's a fucking Larry.

[sacrelicious]

Man, Larry was fucked up tonight.

[Redlemons]

I'm trying to bring 'radical' back. So far I've concived my friends to use it. It'll only be a matter of time before it's back...

Anyway, I'm Australian, and there's quite a bit of suburban slang that American's don't know. The other Aussies here will know some more that I don't, since I haven't been here for very long (a long story).

Mint - cool. "Aw, that's mint!"
Mad - cool. "A mad TV show!"
Sweet - "I did sweet on that exam!"
Stubby - small bottle of beer.
Sangers - sandwich
Reckon - think. "I reckon it's nice."
Swoit - same as sweet.
Mate - friend.
Dog - ugly chick.

Some of those are probably used in America, too, but that's about all I can think of at the moment

my brother is named lawerence, you bastards!
gnarly with a g, why not just narly?

[Poprocksz]

we have beer here in Olympia
called(duh) Olympia Beer.
and they have Oly Stubbies.
I can't think of another beer company that
does though.

I always thought "samitch"
was the universal slang for sandwich.

and my dad's name is Larry.

[Gandalf-]

hahah jr.

It's gnarly because that's how it is spelt.

That is kinda like saying: "knife? why with a k? why not nife?"

[Guy]

hehe canadian slang

You hoser!
take off eh!

hmm ok i ran out already

[Aura]

Hey tubular forum. Nice word usage huh? Have you heard of the ghetto slang from way out in minority country? Say:

Tight
Dope
Coolio

Kinda lame if you ask me oh well. talk atcha laterz.

[christian cox]

Hey, I say 'tight' and 'coolio' but I do not live in the ghetto, nor am I a minority. Yes, they did develop in the ghetto, perhaps... or possible in a suburb full of rich white kids that thought they were in a Ghetto...

Now I wonder what the point of my posting this was...

*edit* typos... perhaps I should call upon the Doctor... Pepper, that is.

[balistic]

I still say "rad" once in a while, and people always ridicule me for it.

They're just jealous of how rad i am.

[Aura]

hey Chris um well lets see, I am not a rich white kid from the suburb who thinks I'm in the ghetto. I'm definately not rich and I live near an indian reservation where the population is about 200. I am a minority here. And there's nothing wrong with the words but if you think about it what sense do they make? I dunno I used to say coolio, not tight though cuz what is tight. Is it tight like tight pants. Oh well.

[Giant Hamster]

phatt - "Part happenin' All the time"
Sick - "Man, he's got some sick wheels"
tizight - "uuuh, Tizight to the brizight"
solid - "Be cool, bro. solid."
onion - "Her ass is so bangin', it makes me cry"
bangin' - ^see above^
