I didn't know that.  I was never in the military.  I heard dark thirty for just after dusk since I was a kid from all my elders.

*'Right on!'  (agrees vigoursly.)
 
*Groovy (loosley translated as would appeal to someone stoned.)
 
*Black Power! [Fist in the air]  (probably self-explanatory.)
 
*Turn on (something appealing, usually a sexual attractrant.)
 
*Make love, not war (seems self-explanatory.)
 
*Cool (various meanings, all good.)
 
If i thought about it i could go on; doesn't seem to me today's slang is as rich and meaningful, and i sure don't feel silly saying it like i should as an over-30.

This thread is for me!
I am soooooooooo "old school" and I love it.
I prefer to use the term "old school" than "old terms" or outdated, played out, time warp, etc.
 
I have so many terms I am not sure where to start, here are a few of my current favorites:
 
dude, freak, twisted, freak of the week, talk to the hand, I keep it real, make my day.......the list is endless.
Lotus I am lost in the 80's and early 90's myself.
 


Wow Miz, you are making me feel my age    !
 
Hummm let's see...
 
Far out
Groovy
Whoopie ding (as we spung your index finger in the air.)
Sad!!
Grass
Weed
Record, as in a vinal record or Tape, I still say sometimes .
Sky, as in I gotta sky outta here  when leaving.
Buzzed or Wreaked
Fabulous
Right on!
Peace man.
Thats Heavy!
You're just paranoid!

Cool
That's Deep!
That's Freaky!
I'm Freak out!
You're Freaking me out!
Don't Freak me out!
Freak out!

For those who know beyond the movie "Gremlins" The term Gremlins was used by air plane mechanics in WWII as there excuse for everything that broke or went wrong.

As a Pilot, even Bugs Bunny had to deal with a very naughty gremlin.

Or, to my brothers....you are such a Jerk!!!  And they would say, "thanks!  I'm a Junior Educated Rich Kid"

Status: offline 		I'm an elementary teacher, and one thing that drives me up the wall (along with some of the other teachers) is when kids say, "So and so cut me."  I'm like "No one cut you.  I don't see a knife.  You're not bleeding.  The term is 'so and so cut in front of me!!'"
