Slang words from the 70's no longer spoken today (beach, music, mother)

[mschrief]

I still say "Whoa dude" which I am sure dates me horribly.

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin’ . . .

Rad, boss, later later, boy howdy, roach coach, don't go sterile and peace out.
Relative who traveled with a carnival, pulling his home on wheels called it a white man's tepee.

My daughter and her friends all said "peace out" and we were the "rents" among other things.

Regional 70's slang from my small Florida hometown-

Book (as in leave) "Let's book."
Pistol packin' mama (female cop - a rarity in our town)

[Larry Siegel]

I use some of them, but I'm usually speaking ironically when I do. Groovy.

Short for bogus.

This is more 60s, but I also like "fink." It's a fun way to avoid cursing, for example when around a kid. "You showed up for the date and she finked out on you, huh? Too bad." "You forgot my birthday, you rat fink."

I always thought bogue was short for Bogart and Bogarting.

People please, take out the phrase "all like" !!!! and state what you mean.

Meaning TELL THE TRUTH

Example- He was "all like...." versus stating the truth aka what He actually said!

Gag me with a spoon.

Spaz is still in use.

I hear everything except groovy.
