Oh, wow.

I feel archaic after reading this list.

I miss phrases like these.

"How would you like a knuckle sandwich?"

"She's hot, who is she?" "That's his old lady."

"Here, I made this for you." "Really?" "Psyche!"

"You look angry. Take a chill pill."

"He didn't understand what I said." "Yeah, sometimes that dude is really out to lunch."

I think I will still keep some of these alive in my daily conversations, just to watch for reactions.

Enjoy a trip back in time.

I don't trip over language. Alot of it is colloquial. I do love rich colorful expression.

I used "tough titty" and "jap slap" this month and I'm sure it's old.

Hahaha, awesome!

Wow, half of these I have never heard before. Maybe its a regional thing; nevertheless, I will never give up:

"Cruisin’ for a bruisin" because I think its in a Pink Floyd song 😂.

"Made in the shade."

"Far out dude" (I added the "dude." I mean, how can you not)?

"Bummer dude" (I added the "dude." I mean, how can you not)?

"Can you dig it?" (I mean it was said in "Shaft," soooo....)

"Who's the black private dick

That's a sex machine to all the chicks? (Shaft)

You're damn right

Who is the man that would risk his neck for his brother, man? (Shaft)

Can ya dig it?"

"Hang loose dude" (I added the "dude." I mean, how can you not)?

Gnarly dude (I added the "dude." ( I mean, how can you not)?

Duh (I will use this until the day I die). It just works on so many levels.

I actually said "made in the shade" last week, hahaha

Your mom goes to college.

Oh yea, sometimes you are out to lunch.

Ive never really cared what people thought about the phrases I learned over time. I think its fun to keep them alive over the years. Sure Ive gotten poked at for them, but nothing malicious. Rad and gnarly have been in my dictionary since I was a kid in Arkansas.... you can imagine how well that went over. I was always a sore thumb there.



And yeah funny story, your mom jokes were my fav and just reaching peak usage around my high school when, my mom died. Geez how i hated the pity look over a joke!! For fucks sake just say it and laugh!! Its funny!!!
