Slang terms you don't hear anymore

[PapaBear]

Seeing Bronxy's CORN PALACE (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1415324#post1415324) post just got me thinking...

When I was a kid, there were slang terms that we used, that I never hear anymore. Anal sex was called corn holing (no... I didn't have a bad uncle experience). Farting was "Cuttin' the Cheese", or "Lit one" (as in, "Ewww... who lit one?").

I haven't heard either of the fart ones in eons. The last time I heard any reference to "corn hole" was Beavis & Butthead's "Cornholio" bit.

What are some slang terms that you never hear anymore?

Only time I hear "awesome" anymore is being used sarcastically.

But here's another goofy little thing I've been doing lately.
Upon being introduced to someone new, just say, with a serious face, "Charmed, I'm sure." Keep it monotone and the reactions are usually priceless. Just another way I've been keeping myself amused.

When I was in 5th or 6th grade (about 20 or so years ago), we used the term "Exquisite!" or just "Ex!" for anything that was cool.

Not sure if it was a Central Jersey thing, but I know that it died a horrible, painful death quite quickly.

Around the same age for me, it was "Tough!" as in "That Corvette is Tough!"

“Hair.”
Back in the 60s and early 70s, used to describe unusually long hair on a man, and spoken not just approvingly, but with awe, especially by those of us who were not allowed to grow our hair long and/or lived in conservative households where the channel was changed on the tv if a guy with particularly long hair appeared. The channel would be changed after hoots and cries of, “Is that a boy or a girl?”
The next day at school we’d be talking about the few seconds we got to see of, say, a Mark Farner or an Iggy Pop and tell those not in the know,
“And he had HAIR!”
It was mandantory that this phrase be followed by the speaker indicating with one hand on the small of his back how long this wondrous growth was.

“Rate.”
An approving term to describe almost anything that was judged to be of high quality.
“Man, that new GTO rates!


“Goofy Foot.”
The way a left-handed person surfs or skateboards with feet positioned opposite on the board from how righties would ride.
Goofy Foot was also the brand name of the first big skateboard company and just having one of their skateboards had subversive overtones.
These skateboards were not the bigass planks the kids now ride, but were much more sleek in appearance and, guessing from a dusty memory, probably no more than 16 inches long.

[dudeabides]

When I was a young un in Connecticut, anything we liked was "wicked"

That's one of Boston's favorites... especially combined with "pissa" "wicked pissa" Ahh.. rolls right off the tongue.

From Wikipedia...
23 skidoo (sometimes 23 skiddoo) is an American slang phrase popularized in the early twentieth century, first appearing before World War I and becoming popular in the Roaring Twenties. It generally refers to leaving quickly, being forced to leave quickly by someone else or taking advantage of a propitious opportunity to leave, that is, "getting [out] while the getting's good."

“Goofy Foot.”
The way a left-handed person surfs or skateboards with feet positioned opposite on the board from how righties would ride.
Goofy Foot was also the brand name of the first big skateboard company and just having one of their skateboards had subversive overtones.
These skateboards were not the bigass planks the kids now ride, but were much more sleek in appearance and, guessing from a dusty memory, probably no more than 16 inches long.

When I learned how to snowboard, the instructor referred to it as goofy foot.

I use to hear Dick Munch you never hear that anmore

You hear dick nose even less.

Friends from LI would say "mint" i.e. 'that's mint' (good)

Word up reminded me of "money grip" for some reason it was cool to call eachother that in 91. 'word up money grip'

We used to say 'ex' a lot for 'excellent' as kids. 'that's ex'

(radical was so huge at one point there was a movie named after it)

Did someone mention 'homie?'

Also - 'sweet' kind of fell off recently.

square biz= seriously, real talk
Hella= Alot of or extremely (I think thats a California thing though?)

Alot of fightin words have disappeared like bank "I banked that fool" or going head up. Also outta curiousity has anybody ever heard someone say "He called me everything but a white man" I've only heard it a few times. I didn't know if that was a regional thing or something.
