I'm always hearing new lingo (my stepson is a teen) and it makes me think of all the lingo that has come and gone. What lingo did you use or still use that is out of style. If it's kinda obscure then tell us what it means too. My stepson now uses salty which apparently means miffed or mad.
A couple off the top of my head, hang loose, dude, beater(crappy car).
So tell me what do you got..............

New lingo is welcome too, it's always good to stay in the know. That's Beast (that's awesome)

    Radical as something cool or good. Now it just describes most sects of the middle east

    I can't effing stand these unecessary abbreviations. Totes anything, especially adorbs... cray cray I hear used as if it's pretty commonly accepted as a word or phrase... ridic for ridiculous...

    My mom once told me they used to say "sock it to the judge" lol I have no idea what it means, and didn't care at the time. Now she's not around to tell me. Anyone here old enough to remember that? I'm curious now.

    I never stop using words. Consequently, my idioms and slang span more decades than I've lived! Currently still using all of the following:

    Bee's Knees
    Nice Gams
    Throw a fair one (start a fight in a respectable manner)
    Chap my hide
    Jawn - it's a Philly thing and is an acceptable replacement for any noun
    Homie
    Dude - chances are, if you're in my presence, and I call you dude, it's 'cause I forgot your name
    Hunky dory
    Neato

    This list just goes on and on and on. My 4-year old is using vernacular from the 50's and I'm pretty sure he's picking it up from me and not the reruns of Mad Men I let him watch.
