OT: Sayings from way back when

[blindbaby]

Ok, post sayings/slang/whatever from days gone by that aren't used anymore....


Choice: (circa 1976-82) "Man, that Cal-240 skateboard you bought is choice, Biff"!

Suck rocks: (circa 1974-78) "That's not even Mexican commercial; it's just oregano. You asshole, you can suck rocks"!

Get found: (circa 1971-74) "Quit trying to steal a titty squeeze from my ol' lady on the dance floor; you need to get found you asshole".

Get the fuck outta here: (circa 1984 - 90) You're from Calgary, too??!! Get the fuck outta here!

Not a happy camper: (circa 1988 - 92) These Upper Deck hockey cards had no holograms in them and I'm not a happy camper.

Nifty: - (circa 1966 - 72) "Wow man, nifty lava lamp"!


/actually, I've heard Jamie Campbell try and revive this saying as a Blue Jays announcer and may have contributed to his ultimate demise as a broadcaster; probably not.

Rad: - (circa 1980's - 1990's) "That old hippie on E St. shaves a rad short-board, bro!"

I think this saying really grew legs when it was used by everyone's favorite pizza eating turtle in the TMNT films.

I actually have heard some west coast hipsters still use the saying. Always makes me laugh.

Bogus: - (circa 1987-1991) :"This lockout is bogus, guise!"

Guise: - (Apr. 2010 - present) : "It is kind of embarrassing when i spell Hooplan on a non-SportsHoopla site like facebook, guise!"

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Rep: (April 2010-September 2012) "IPW, THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST YET, MAN. REP!"

Mint: circa 1958 - 1976 - supplanted by Choice, but essentially carries the same meaning (ala That '69 Camaro is mint, Bobby Lou)

 

[SLY]

I think rad might have replaced choice.

Been around since about the the early/mid-seventies. Cool has done well for itself, too.

 

[blindbaby]

Too much: (circa 1972-80) Wow man, your old man is just too much.

 

[blindbaby]

Never heard "guise" used in that context. Must be gettin' old.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

(circa 1960's) "The establishment sucks man, let's just burn everything down and groove on the rubble". Any group of 60's hippies.
