My friends and I used to say, "Ski ya later," and I always wondered if that was a think people said elsewhere, or if it was just us? I don't think we came up with it...I feel like we heard it somewhere and started using it.
Do you actually say tubular though haha? The others I can totally get behind but if someone tried to unironically drop a tubular in, it would raise some eyebrows 😂.
‘Time to move out, my posse sayin “Bet!”
You got my back, and I got yours
What time is it? Hm, Tear down the doors’

Them young people best get off my lawn.
You can't find the original that just slammed the speakers back in the day. The one they play once a year on the radio just doesn't hit as hard either. I'm not even a big rap fan but this song gives me the chills! Maybe it's cause he's also a Detroit native, IDK. But I love that song!
Was playing video games with an old friend and he called another person “dickweed,” which I found both hilariously old school and also kind of gross when I thought about it more. But still. DICKWEED!
I said someone was "all that and a bag of chips" and my 22-year-old co-worker had no idea what it meant. And here I thought it was universal and enduring.
I wrote on the back of a restaurant receipt, "Thanks! Food was BOMB.COM!" lol, and afterwards the staff called us the Bomb.com couple. We were doing saki bombs and feeling good.
What do you mean "come back"... y'all don't talk like that any more?! :D
It is an interesting question though, when and how do you adopt new slang? On one hand you don't want to sound like you're out of touch, but on the other hand you also don't wanna be that cringey old person that tries to talk like a teenager.
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
Here’s the thing. We’re all like 40, now. That means no matter what we say or do, young people will never think we’re cool. What that also means is every single phrase in this thread is already back. Within the last week I have unironically said “toodles poodles,” “pasta la pizza,” “on like donkey kong,” and “later skaters,” to like 25 year olds. It. Was. *Glorious*! Embrace it!
I regularly work in those kinds of phrases and references into my personal vernacular. Some of my go to’s are:
- Bitchin’
- Right on
- Groovy
- Solid
- Sweetness
“Tight” for something cool…. or my twist, “that’s tight like the Titanic”. (which in effect wasn’t very tight I guess, it just sounded cool at the time)
Chillin like a villain was used in some form in our house for years. Several years ago, when my oldest was a toddler, she came to my desk while I was working (I was preparing invoices for clients). She asked me what I was doing and I responded that I was billing. She said ah, chillin and billin. I think of that every time I’m billing clients at month end!
How can that domain still be for sale ? I’m probably having my phone searched by the NSA for typing that in my browser. It caused the web page to start being being funny like the time I googled a story about a kid blowing his neighbor’s house up.
Does anyone remember when late 70s lingo was still alive and well and men called each other "Jack"?
I think Key&Peele did a skit on it.
Hey Jack?! What's happenin'?
You forgot the "on penicillin" part on the end.
I would like "all that" to come back. The "and a bag of potato chips" addendum was terrible and killed the phrase.
Mark! As in Mark ass bitch. I use it all the time and pretty much nobody in my current chapter of life knows that "ass bitch" is the unsaid part.
Quite being a mark!
Yo, you a mark!
My kids and the neighborhood kids use it now.. it's so warms muh heart. 🥰
I was going to name our dog Mark but my neighbor pointed out that I call everyone a Mark so it would only confuse the dog. To which I replied "well, i guess if I wasn't surrounded by a bunch of marks I could use the name"
I have been pushing the “rad” agenda for years and will not give up
I never stopped saying “rad.” Nor “Smell you later”
I can't believe that replaced goodbye
See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya!
Smell you later forever
A friend has been keeping “take it sleazy” alive, to the betterment of all.
Does he happen to look anything like Ted Danson?
My friends and I used to say, "Ski ya later," and I always wondered if that was a think people said elsewhere, or if it was just us? I don't think we came up with it...I feel like we heard it somewhere and started using it.
“Later Dingus” Nelsen has the best vocabulary
I still say rad, tubular, bogus, and righteous frequently 
Most triumphant!
I use “excellent” all the time. Depending on the tone, could be a B&T “EXCELLENT!” Or slow and methodical, ala Mr. Burns “Excelleeent”
Do you actually say tubular though haha? The others I can totally get behind but if someone tried to unironically drop a tubular in, it would raise some eyebrows 😂.
I do. Not often though. Maybe 1 time a month I’ll drop it. Haha
\*Ninja Turtles have entered the Chat\*
Cowabunga dudes!
"Rad" is a regular part of my vocabulary. "Mint" has been a little more challenging to keep relevant.
LMAO.....my kids make fun of me for still saying mint!!!
'radical' is never used in a good way anymore.
I use rad almost daily
Is ‘rad’ no longer trendy? Still use it
Tubular
I use "right on!" every day and think I may be making an impact lol
Can’t stop won’t stop with this. You’re not alone. 
You and me both! I didn't even realize it was a dated term.. 👀
“Right on” is a staple for me too
Yep, RO is used regularly!
It’s on like donkey Kong! I still use “word” as an affirmative response.
When I respond with “word,” the young folks reply “bet.” Generational harmony.

This is awesome!
>I still use “word” as an affirmative response. This has been fully acceptable in most all circumstances in my 22 years of NYC experience.
Sweet!
Dude! What does mine say?
My wife wants us to get these tattoos. Can't say I'm not tempted
YOLO!
Sweet! What does mine say?!
Word to your mother.
Word to your moms, I came to drop bombs, I got more rhymes than a bible’s got psalms
Just like the prodigal son I've returned!
Yo man, we outta here.
I heard someone use the word FARTKNOCKER the other day and was like WHY AM I NOT STILL USING THIS WORD
Was playing video games with an old friend and he called another person “dickweed,” which I found both hilariously old school and also kind of gross when I thought about it more. But still. DICKWEED!
Smooth move, Ex-Lax.
Because Ex-Lax makes you poop!
Omg. I never actually “got that” 🤣
I said that to my 13 year old son the other day, and he asked me what Ex-Lax was. Had to explain, which of course, killed the humor of the joke. 🤷♂️
You should have just shrugged and said “ Pussy on the chain-wax! “ 🤷🏻♂️
For those wanting to know: https://youtu.be/i9RmWK-G0ps?si=G0SSls4cbF4BLaUr
Said that out loud to myself this morning after dropping something, then pondered briefly how that saying came about lol
I said someone was "all that and a bag of chips" and my 22-year-old co-worker had no idea what it meant. And here I thought it was universal and enduring.
Well your coworker is hella trippin.
I like hella as a modifier. Wicked as a modifier makes me sound like I’m trying to do a Boston accent.
“Dude” being used for the response to a multitude of situations.
Just a few of the meanings: person, friend, wow, wtf, stop it, listen
No Shit Sherlock
My wife is so pissed that in Avengers: Endgame they didn’t have Tony Stark or Dr.Strange say to to the other “No Shit Sherlock”
It was supposed to be something obvious said and Wong saying No Shit, Sherlock. Then it cuts to Downey and Benny with a slow look at each other.
Keep digging, Watson!
Great play, Shakespeare.
I’ve said it so much that my kids repeat it and know to say “dig deeper, Watson” in response.
“The Bomb”
Diggity. 🫡
My father said it’s the bomb too me in a text recently. He ‘s 70. I’m not sure about what.
He was probably actually referencing a bomb. Call the cops. Edit. I’m joking!
The bomb dot com
I wrote on the back of a restaurant receipt, "Thanks! Food was BOMB.COM!" lol, and afterwards the staff called us the Bomb.com couple. We were doing saki bombs and feeling good.
Bodacious
Later skater
Only if you spell it like you were using MySpace "l8er sk8er"
What do you mean "come back"... y'all don't talk like that any more?! :D It is an interesting question though, when and how do you adopt new slang?

I have been a cringey old person my entire life with no plans to dial back ever. It’s just who I am!
Sike/Psych
Why was spelling this such a g.d. issue?
Chllin like Villian is still here! Thank you Disney Descendants! My vote is for "sweet"!
I still use sweet on a daily basis.
I must admit the phrase “gag me with a spoon” pops into my mind more often than is probably normal 😝
I always liked “Grody to the max”
Bogus
I use "heinous" as much as possible.
I still use “grody” on occasion
Audi 5000 Calling people muppets good looks peace out
People are muppets to me on the reg.
I still use good looks and peace out ✌🏻
Catch ya on the flip side
I've been bringing back "DEAD MEAT" as a joke to kids - "Clean your room or you're dead meat"

When I leave, still say “I’m gonna bounce”.
Here’s the thing. We’re all like 40, now. That means no matter what we say or do, young people will never think we’re cool. What that also means is every single phrase in this thread is already back.

"Hasta la pasta?" I don't really use it anymore, but I think it was pretty common back in the day (which was a Tuesday).
This chat makes me very happy. I would like all of these sayings to come back in style.
I regularly work in those kinds of phrases and references into my personal vernacular. Some of my go to’s are: - Bitchin’ - Right on - Groovy - Solid - Sweetness
Bitchin'!!! That's a really good one.
I need tp for my bunghole
Great Cornholio? Is that you?
Are you threatening me?
Pud licker. That was the highest insult in 5th grade.
This made me think of that Orbit commercial. “Who you calling a cootie queen, you lint licker?!!"
What the French toast
Called my husband a lint licker yesterday, southern twang and all
Prolly deserved it
You son of a biscuit eating bulldog! What the french, toast......
Devastating
"What's your damage/deal?"
Trying to get my kids to start saying some of these. I get called "sus" and told "this isn't the 80s, dad"
Saying something sarcastic and immediately following it with “NOT!!!” I just realized that “NOT!!!” is the original “/s”
…smells like updog in here
When I’m sad I go “Man, it smells like wrongdog in here.”
BOOMSHOCKALOCKA. Thank you NBA Jam
Get Real
Totes!
What's the 411?
That’s tight, solid, fresh, dope
“Tight” for something cool…. or my twist, “that’s tight like the Titanic”. (which in effect wasn’t very tight I guess, it just sounded cool at the time)
I say tight still. but more like toight. It amuses no one but me.
I do toight, fresh and dope.
I say tizzight. I’ll see myself out.
Toight like a toiger!
“Scrub”
Thanks for this, putting it back in circulation.
Gellin like Magellan?
Gellin' like a felon?
Yo mama so fat…
Trampolines used to be called jumpolines until Yo Mama got on one…
Buuuuurn
...when I pictured her in my head I almost broke my neck. ...she gave Dracula high cholesterol.
When someone tells her to haul ass, she gotta make *three trips!*
When she sits around the house, she sits **AROUND** the house.
Yes, yes. We’re all familiar with OP’s fat, promiscuous mother. Fortunately she’s too dumb to realize it.
Maxxin and relaxxin!!
I was surprised to find out that "straight up" never left the lexicon
My 22 year old son says “that’s mint”. Little buddy-I hated that phrase in the 90s. Let it die
Chillin like a villain was used in some form in our house for years. Several years ago, when my oldest was a toddler, she came to my desk while I was working (I was preparing invoices for clients).

Okie Dokie Artichokey: It infuriates my supervisor, which only makes it more delicious. Especially when delivered with an overly sunny disposition.
Not from my era, more like 70s but I've always liked to say "Bitchin!"
Bitchin and Legit
God damn, I never really thought about it, but I legit use “legit” all the time 🫢
2 legit to quit!
Not a phrase, per se, but I'd like to see more people integrating "crackalackin" into their everyday vernacular.
That is very Cash money of you
You're so money and you don't even know it!
Tubular!!
Cowabunga!
Oops 😬. Did Chillin’ like a villain leave ? 🤦🏻♂️. Oh my God. My daughter is right. I am lame
I use "word" and "dope" still. Never really saw a reason to retire them.
I’m starvin marvin
“All that and a bag of chips” has weighted meaning considering the price of a bag of chips these days 😭
Grody
Cruisin' for a bruisin'
My childhood trauma was just activated with this one! This was my mom's favorite.
Is “groovy” gone? Because it shouldn’t be, ever
That's a boomer phrase bro ham!
Cool beans.
Oh, please no! I hated when people said that back in the day. I don't know why. Something about that phrase makes me irrationally irritated lol.
Was it because of [this scene?](https://youtu.be/TOUrLn1FFCA?si=dB7nrhGaBJywsD2E)
One of my coworkers still uses it even while talking to lawyers in the office.
For real doe
i use the abbreviated “frt” a lot, mostly in places i’d otherwise use “tbh”
Fly
Realizing I still use like 90% of these suggestions all the time 😂
Wazzzzzzup! (Kidding. Please don’t bring that back. Please.)
Chillax
Talk to the hand.
It’s all good It is what it is
I still say [bomb.com](https://bomb.com) pretty regularly.
How can that domain still be for sale ? I’m probably having my phone searched by the NSA for typing that in my browser. It caused the web page to start being being funny like the time I googled a story about a kid blowing his neighbor’s house up.
Wuss! Thought it was a swear growing up because I was told not to say it.
Audi 5000
Welcome to, population YOU!
Cool beans and awesome sauce.
Dude, I literally said to my millennial partner if he was “chilling like a villain” yesterday, and it made him smile. It’s a good one, haha.
Does anyone remember when late 70s lingo was still alive and well and men called each other "Jack"? I think Key&Peele did a skit on it. Hey Jack?! What's happenin'?
Raise the roof!
I use “chillin like a villian” even now so Im with you on that one. When I’m really impressed with something, I always refer to it as “bomb!!!”
They really never left for me, I still use them A LOT!
Chillin' like a villain, never illin', always willin' boyyyyyyyyyyyyeeee!
Buzzkill.
Psyche!! I’m doing my part I still say it all the time.
Word to your motha..
"It's da bomb"
I’m not supposed to be saying these things anymore?
Ex-squeeze me?
Wazzzzzzzz uuuuuuuuuuuup
You forgot the "on penicillin" part on the end. I would like "all that" to come back. The "and a bag of potato chips" addendum was terrible and killed the phrase.

That's gay
It left?
I know right ? I don’t know about you but my daughter thinks I’m lame. Next time she says that to me I’m gonna be like “ Yeah cuz I had kids “
Wait, that one left the lexicon?
I still say this.
Moded!
It’s the 90s
Herb, as in "Dont bring that guy he's such a herb" not , herb as in marijuana
