Supreme: (circa 1991-97) "Windows 95 is supreme, dude".

 

[blindbaby]

Smoking a doob. When we saw the cops it was "there's the boys"

Superlative: (circa 1988-95) Almost an Office Space meme, although never actually used in the movie.

Hodges: "Hey Simpson, I'm screwing your wife in the rear".
Simpson: "Superlative, Hodges"!

Let's have 'er: (circa 1974-84)

Almost the precursor to, "Let's get 'er done".


Bobby: "You want to make fun of my AMC pacer; I'm going to beat you up"!
Del: "You wanna go (scrap)? Let's have 'er!!"

Incidentally, Bobby got his ass kicked.

Wrong!!: (circa 1987-92) Although still used sparingly today, it used to be a common meme to interject into a statement or sentence of another person, with the term - "wrong!" (sometimes half way through a sentence), without any logic or thought; simply used as means of showing your supposed superiority and ape like qualities. The fact more people never received more kicks directly to the groin for doing this - even to this day - still baffles me.

 

[blindbaby]

In fact, I'm about 99% certain that the same meatheads who constantly used the term, "wrong"!, became some of the early internet pioneers who ended everyone of their posts with, "nuff said".

Go For It! (70's-80's)

I actually still use this one from time to time.
