Are you a throwback?

[Squiggy]

Nah...but come to think of it, "rad" was a 60s term too....

Rad, in the context I'm talking about, was a term used mostly by skaters in the 80's.

I'm pretty old, 27.

30 might as well be a death sentence.

Fuck off, punk.

You are aware that Paul McCartney was in a group before Wings. Right?

I'm 27 years young and glad that Bill and Ted's Bogus journey hasn't left any lingering colloqualisms in my head

Bodacious dood...

I still find myself using terms used in my younger days like referring to something as being "ace". Fortunately missed the phase of saying "brill" for brilliant...

 

[Professur]

That's smashing, that is.

 

[Coffee Bean]

Squiggy, are you saying that skaters didn't use the term "rad" heavily?

 

[Professur]

Just cracking.

 

[Squiggy]

No Bean. I know they used it. I was just making the point that it was born in the 60s and used the same...

 

[Coffee Bean]

Are you sure it wasn't the 50's?

 

[Squiggy]

I don't know how any of you can stand being that old.....

 

[Squiggy]

Rad was 60s...It actually came with the birth of skateboarding...thus the attachment to 'skaters'...

 

[Q]

first they stole our sayings...now they invented them??

 

[Squiggy]

They figure we don't remember because of the doobs....

 

[unclehobart]

If you remember the 60's... you wern't really there.

 

[Squiggy]

It all comes back....after a while...

 

[PT]

Dude, I really hope the 80's come back at some point. Or then again, maybe I don't.

 

[Q]

They figure we don't remember because of the doobs....

Bet they invented those too...
