Slang from my Youth
Recently I have been thinking about words that people don't use anymore. Specifically words that I do not use anymore. As an adolescent you pick up words that you would never repeat later on in life. Here is a sample of just a few from the late twentieth century. "Back in my day" as they say. I would document some phrases from my youth before they disappeared forever. If you want to add on to the list just post a reply.
Bomb: Something Extraordinarily good.
Example: "That movie was the bomb"
No Diggity: An expression of affirmation beyond any doubt.
Example:
Person A: "Did you ask her for her number?"
Person B: "No Diggity!"
Psych: A response to an impossible self proclamation, usually as a joke.
Example:
Person A: I once fought a pirate!
Person B: Really?
Person A: Psych!
NOT: Similar to 'psych' with the exception that the opposite true as a case of sarcasm.
Example:
Person A: Wow, you are a really good singer! NOT!
Grub (Noun)/ Grubbin' (verb): Good food. To eat good food.
Examples:
"Mom, that meal was grub"
"We were grubbin' at In n' Out last night."
