What I find fascinating is how some words or phrases can make a comeback.

Like for instance, Jon Lovitz's catchphrase when he was on SNL, "That's the ticket!". I came across that in a book from the 1920s.

 

[nocode]

That terrible Mel B/Mel G song?

I don't know what that is, but now I hate it.

Because it never made any sense to begin with.

Haha, do any of these words or phrases make sense?

 

[acksman]

Bitch'n

 

[HiiiLife]

I use dope often.

Haven't heard grody or fresh in sometime though.

 

[SugarDaddy]

bangin'

I never hear anybody say it anymore, or maybe no body ever said it. Maybe it was just me...


Do people still say "I'm straight" in replace of "no thanks"?

Haven't heard grody or fresh in sometime though.

Grody is, and will always be, a part of my daily vocabulary.

edit:

groovy

This, so much this. Groovy is such an awesome word.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

groovy

 

[tearsofash]

Bones, bread, far out, wicked, ice, psyche! Not! Fantabulous, radical, bogus, weenie, dweeb, freak, dolt.

I can't wait till "No homo" kicks the bucket. ugh

cunt, its dying.

I don't want to live in this world when it's dead. Much like the word fuck it's the swiss army knife of curse words. So beautiful too. Rolls right off the tongue.

Long live cunt!

Perhaps you should give chode a try!

 

[Log4Girlz]

"Sorry", "I am sorry", "I was wrong", "My apologies", "Please forgive me".

 

[hateradio]

I'm glad some of these are dying.

But these need to die too:

• Epic
• Son
• lol

I don't hear people say cajones much anymore.

ie. You've got some big cajones.

Well, maybe because it's cojones? Unless you actually mean cajones, as in drawers/boxes.

 

[VOOK]

Thank you
Please

And other words of manner.

 

[hateradio]

.

Since I can't find the one with the guy with the glasses.

 

[squidyj]

Because it never made any sense to begin with.

you just keep on truckin'

"Sorry", "I am sorry", "I was wrong", "My apologies", "Please forgive me".

My mistake, that was my fault, excuse me, pardon me.

 

[Horseticuffs]

"Sorry", "I am sorry", "I was wrong", "My apologies", "Please forgive me".

Relics from a gentler time, I dare say.

I haven't heard "courting" in quite some time.

 

[SeriousApes]

I hope the phrase "...in a minute", used to suggest a long period of time, is dying or dead.

I haven't heard it in a minute.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Ne'er cast a clout till May be out

 

[TUROK]

I definitely don't miss people saying "dayuuuuum" in that loud, obnoxious voice.

I've been using groovy for a few years now. I was inspired by rewatching Army of Darkness.

 

[Betta Lines]

I still say dope

Yeah but you sell drugs to the community...

This is what happened to that catch phrase:

You only live once isn't that bad of a phrase but when it's typed like yolo I want to punch something.

I haven't heard it in a minute.

I HATED that phrase.....so much.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

"coon's age": "it's probably been a coon's age since I've seen star wars"

"since nam": "wow, I haven't seen a pair of good looking jean shorts since nam".

If I'm hungry I sometimes say, "damn, I'm hungry as a boy right now." Or tired, "damn, I'm tired as a boy right now."

haha. people love my phrases.

Chris (from Family Guy): I'm so hungry, I could ride a horse. ---- I don't get it.

Remember shibby?

In relation to the OP:

I have no idea why the strip was taken off though.

 

[UncleSporky]

"NOT!" in the 90's sense.

 

[ultron87]

I use "rad" and "radical" way too much. I think I started out saying it ironically but not so much anymore.

 

[Peter Bazooka]

It's a shame that the superior version of radical has been dead and buried for decades now. I'm speaking of course of badical.

 

[bengraven]

Slightly OT, but does anyone remember a word from the early-mid 80s: "sped"? Like you would call someone a "sped": "ugh, that guy's a poser and a sped". I seem to remember my teenage skateboarding uncles using it all the time, but I might have just been confused - I was like 6 at the time.

Sadly, not many people say, "dope" anymore. Like, "hey, this new song is dope"

I'm still carrying the torch though.

Oh I totally do.

I get shit all the time for saying "dope" and "rad".

 

[Enzom21]

I haven't heard anyone call some "folks" in the longest time.

 

[Prez]

don't really hear "gay" used as a pejorative anymore.

How did that suddenly die out? I wouldn't think those "That's so gay" ads were very effective.

 

[TheExodu5]

Amen

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Bing it.
