Yes, people in the 1960s had a lot of slang for the police. Nevertheless, why the police were calledfuzz During the 1960s is the assumption of someone. Could it be the military style crew that the cops prefer during this decade? Perhaps, but we can never know.

Example: "You'd better put it unless you want to break your fuzz."

This may seem like an invitation to use as a human mattress, but the "IT" being deposited on you is actually more conversational than physical. "The laying on me" is a Groovy way to say, "Tell me what worries you."

The rolling stones probably no longer spoke of nineteenth century nitrous oxide oxides - the origin of the slang - when they sang "gas gas" in their song Hit "Jumpin 'Jack Flash." In the 1960s, a gas was an activity that could inspire laughter.

It is native of the 1940s of jazz musicians, as an insult to anyone who was not at the forefront of musical trends. But by the 60s, whoever was a little too normal and common could be accused of being square.

Example: "You would not understand the Beatnik poetry, dad. You are such a square."

Inspired by Goober Pyle, the adorable but not-all-all-brilliant character of theAndy Griffith ShowThis argot term has become a way to describe someone less than intellectually without being too naughty. Because hey, we all liked Goyob, right?

Example:"This goober does not know what he's talking about. But anything, his heart is in the right place."

Short for "fabulous", it was the favorite adjectives for everyone's favorite British invasion band, the Beatles. They were not the four incredible or the four amazing, they were FAF four. All that was so cool, even Ringo would have liked that, it was nothing less fab.

Example: "You have filled your apartment with harbon chairs? It's so fabulous."

It's not just a party, it's a Shindig. It grew up in popularity during the 1960s because of a wildly popular television show calledFiesta!Where you could catch performance by hot artists like James Brown, Beach Boys and Tina Turner.

Example:"You'll be at the Shindig tonight? Be there or be square."

A snotch or informant who can not trust. Which makes this arroot so amusing is that it is a syntactic wonder. It can be used as a name, verb or adjective. A guy can be a finger, or he can be accused of merging.

Example:"This fusion had so many problems. I never want to see his face still crazy!"

It's a weird way to ask someone to create a car, for obviously, feet can not make a fist and are unable to "hit". But "Press your foot on the car's accelerator," not just the same urgency.

Example:"We are late for the show! Punch that!"

It simply seemed more romantic and groovy to say that you were doing the scene rather what was really going on. What was: you just introduced you to a place and that you did one thing. What sounds better: "I made the scene in this club" or "I went dancing last night, staying about an hour, and then returned home"?

Example:"It's the weekend, baby. We will do the city center scene!"

When you want to say "fly" but it sounds so hard and contrary to ethics. "Five fingers discount" has a fun ring and it does not even admit to doing it. Hey, I have nothing "stolen" everything that was at the discount. And by the way, I have all five of my original fingers, in case you wonder.

Example: "I did not technically buy this Crosby cassette, Stills & Nash. I got it with five fingers, if you catch my drift."

The other side of today is tomorrow, in order to catch you on the low side means to see you again tomorrow. Yes, we know it does not make sense for us either.

Example: "I have to run, but I'll catch you on the flip."

A solid is a favor because, uh ... favors are not liquid? When you make someone a solid, you help them significantly.

Dancing, but to do so particularly enthusiastic. Ideally, while being accompanied by disco music.

An authority figure. This could mean the police, the government or even your parents. Anyone with the power to have fun.

Example: "I would like me to do better, but the man keeps me."

It's not just an adorable Dorky character inMeatballs. Being a spac is a fragile, spastic and cumulative state of energy. If you save, you have lost all the control of your members and all that approaches rational thinking.

Example:"Whoa, I think you had too much coffee. Do not be such a spac!"

You do not order a flat of support in a barbecue place. Rather, it's the expression of approval.

Example:"Cool beans! I would like to see a movie tonight."

When you talk to someone on a CB radio and you want them to know you heard what they just said. In the 1970s, a real CB radio was not necessary to use this slang. It was not just truckers who wanted to talk like truckers.

Example: "10-4, good friend. I hear you strong and clear."

No such medicine existed. The "cold pill" mentioned here is entirely figurative. However, you do it, you mustcalm down!

Example: "Hey, Hey, take a shivering pill, guy. You will make us kill all!"

If someone is not everything and their attention is the equivalent of someone floating through space, looking at nothing in particular, they certainly qualify as a spatial cadet.

Example: "Let's take a look at this spatial cadet. He is in his own little world."

Once again, not a slang term to take literally. There is no eating involved. Instead, he connotes confusion. All they try to understand have no sense for them. They had to lunch when he was explained.

Example:"I have no idea what that means it means lunch."

You want to call something wrong, but you do not have time or energy to pronounce the "gus" part.

Example: "He made me half again? It's the bug."

When you want the whole truth and nothing but the truth, you ask the skinny. Because, apparently, the truth had a high metabolism in the 70s.

Example:"Yes, I want to know who she was with last night. Give me the skinny!"

When something is taken to the extreme, and it could not be wilder or crazier, you have reached the maximum level of genius.

Example:"We will have fun tonight at themax! "

This slang was also pronounced "Party Cookty", which has a little more meaning. You party with all your heart. "Party-Hardy" just sounds like if you have two words to rhyme vaguely and called it a day. Whatever the true version, the meaning is the same. It's a night to party that goes to the next level.

Example: "I need to blow steam. Let's party-Hardy tonight!"

Bart Simpson made this famous, but the children of the hip used it well before coming. What it really means is another question. It is always heard in a pejorative way - "bent" implies damaged or "folded out of shape". Whatever true translation, it is not a suggestion launched towards the people you like.

Example:"Can I get to you in a Timeshare property?" "Get Bent!"

Long before a bald head has been considered a sexy choice rather than a follicle challenge, the warm people at Bald Men. "Chrome Dome" was supposed to imply that your head was a brilliant and metal structure in which a symphonic orchestra could occur. Not exactly a compliment.

Example: "Nice Dome Chrome, Kojak. I can see my reflection on your head!"

Whatever you do right now, you should do more. Take it at an extra level of effort. Although the feeling looks like something that would be shouted to you by a gym coach who wants you to give "110%", he is always delivered in a good lane, good luck. Maybe it's better represented byBob Dylan In his era of the 70s touched "embraced blue," when he sang "the only thing I knew how to do / had to continue to keep."

Example: "We have two other hours of driving before getting there. Just continue to keep."

Drag means something very different in today's age. The word "drag" means that most people think to be based on digits of the display - the successful TV show "Rupaul's Drag race" But the definition of the 70s of the trail was very different. If something was a trail, things do not go your way. The complications of life had become overwhelming.

Example: "I can not stay at this job much longer. It becomes such a trail."

We have the valley of San Fernando to thank for this gem. An expression for when you want to show disgust or disappointment, and it's not enough to say "I disapprove". You are so disturbed that you literally want to test your gag reflex.

Example: "I can not believe she wore these shoes. Gag me with a spoon!"

A sign of approval and possibly even envy. If something is "choice", you have made the right decision.

Example:"Your mule is looking for the choice today, my man."

It's the opposite day! But only with this word. If something is bad, it means it's good. But comfortably, good does not mean bad. Good means good, but bad meansreally Well.

Example: "Just saw thebad quality Trans Amadez the Block "

If your face appearance leads something to be desired, you may feel more comfortable with a brown paper bag on your head. Another contribution from the California Valley, which has become linguistic leaders during the 1980s.

Example:"I have so many zits, my God, I should just sacrify my face."

When surfers describe something like Gnarly, it means particularly difficult or even dangerous. But in the 80s, Gnarly became a shortcut for all that is cool and exciting.

Example:"ThisBill Murray The movie was so gnarly! "

When you get a little too emotional or upset by something, you have a cow. How exactly this cow is open to interpretation. Give yourself birth to a cow? Well, we should agree with Bart Simpson when he says, "You do not have a cow". Seriously. Do not do that. Today, of course, it's totally something thatOnly seniors say.

Example:"I'm just teasing you. You do not have a cow, man!"

What something has been pronouncedso obvious and apparent, there will be no given duets.

Example: "Do you think to grow up a rat tail may not be my best choice of life?" "No duh."

Example: "He wears jam shorts at the church? Barf out!"

You disagree with someone, but you have refused to get into the details. "Not even" is a quick way to say, "I think you're wrong, but I'm too lazy to get into a case in a case where I write my reasons." They can replicate with "even" and the argument is officially finished.

Example:"She is totally in you, guy." "Not even."

It's not a sincere question. It is only requested when the "damage" of a person have already been evaluated and diagnosed. It's a slightly nicer way to say, "You're not all there."

Example:"Have you eaten this whole chip bag for yourself? What are your damage?"

A kind of punctuation, or what you said, either what else says. Shouting "word" essentially means "I rest my case". If you add "... to your mother," Well, that rule. The word was delivered to your mother, so do not even worry with a counter-argument!

Example:"This cold war makes me really tense. Word to your mother!"

When something is rude but with a little extra-a certainI do not want, if you want - it is crossed in the grid territory. And when something is really graze, it's when it becomes fat maximum. You can not get more fat than that. We have reached a maximum grid.

Example:"You eat so much Nacho cheese. It's a cylinder head at most!"

The opposite of the cylinder head. Being tubular (or better, totally tubular) must be remarkable and breathtaking. It's more surf slang, because as the trucker slang was in the 70s, surfers were at the 80s.

Example:"The way he looks in Parachute's pants are totally tubular!"

Especially of the delicious food you intend to Chowler with extreme enthusiasm. This slang was endowed with our culture byPauly Shore, then use with extreme caution.

Example: "Mind if I forget me to Gringer in your fridge?"

It's time to go and leave, we want to say "bouncing".

Example:"Bond!"

It's like you're a human fire and everything you needed was a little oxygen to stir up the flames. Ok, then we are probably too much by explaining this one. But you have the point. When you are stoke, you are super excited. You are a fire that is not about to burn at any time soon.

Example: "I amvery happy For this kiss concert tonight !! "

Short for "radical", but it really does not do with the actual definition of this word. RAD does not advocate extreme political or social change. You just think that something is cool.

Example:"What New Huey Lewis & News video is so rad!"

This may seem like something you would say to a doctor of the ear during an auditory test, but no, it's actually a way to express empathy. Whatever the other person said, you allow them to know that you have not only heard, but youunderstand them.

Example: "If I get another ticket ticket, I sell my car and buy a bike."

"I heard that!"

A declaration of intent to be unproductive. Because like everyone knows, you are not really relaxed and you were perfectly lazy until you have the same life priorities as a vegetable.

Example:"I do not have a project for the weekend. I'm just going to vegetate" until Monday ".

If your wardrobe was composed of polo or IZOD shirts, and you have at least one fabric belt, you were probably a preppy. The insult was supposed to imply that you were dressed as a person who went to school preparation, where most students come from rich families and have costly cabinets.

Example: "Beautiful clothes, Preppy. Do you even have a shirt without a small alligator?"

When you have completely lost your temperament and lifted your voice to a unnecessarily aggressive tenor, it has been said "ballistic go". There was probably its origins in ballistic missiles, although even the most exclusive screaming guy can never cause as much damage as a weapon of mass destruction.

Example: "You should have seen it. He was so angry, his face went to red and then he was just gone ballistics."

A compliment of meaning. The person or the described thing is all that could possibly hope,and They come with a dish of accompaniment. Because who does not want a snack later?

Example: "She's not just cool. She's all that and a bag of chips."

When it's not enough just to break with someone. You must let them know, in the strongest possible terms, why you want them out of your life.

Example:"He did what? Oh, daughter, you have to hit him at the edge."

Your best bud and closest confidant. The guy or a girl you count and trust over all the others. But no, ironically, the person most likely to have you dinner on a pan.

Example:"Home Studio! It's time for you here."

Whatever the other person tries to say you have been rejected. You are no longer interested in conversation with them. If they want to continue anyway, they are welcome to lead their grievances to your open palm.

Example: "Can I please explain why you are wrong withTonya Harding? "" Talk by hand! "

A sarcastic replica with absurd suggestion. "As if" imagine an alternating ridiculous alternation in which the subject being discussed couldto arrive. We can thankDisapparative For this one.

Example: "He thinks we will get married and have a group of children together. As if!"

When you feel so much exuberance, but no real word in English seems sufficient to capture the full scale of your emotions.

Example:"I finally came out of the basement of my parent. Booyah!"

A guy without money, no work, no perspective and no class. Pretty much the lowest bass. In addition, they will not make love of the group of R & B TLC girls. Sorry, guys.

Example:"I appreciate the offer of a date, but I have a strict policy without scrubs."

This is the version of the 90s of "psych." You think someone tells you the truth or accept with you, then Blammo, they hit you with the inversion of OL '!

Example: "I think Spin doctors is the best group of all time ... not!"

Popularized by a timelessBreastfield Episode (season 8, episode 19), "Yada Yada Yada" is the slang of filling: when someone tells a story and wants to shine on a part (usually extremely juicy), this sentence works like an easy and BREY bridge.

Example: "Well, we were committed to being married, we bought the wedding invitations and Yada Yada Yada ... I'm still single!" - George Costanza (Jason Alexander)

These are just the words "okay", but you know, says by a cool child.

Example:"Nah, I'm cool. I know it looks like I slept in a garbage dump, but I'm uniform."

When you come to do with someone and want to get out of the conversation immediately. "It does not matter" not having any winning or losing, just that you do not care anymore.

Example: "Okay, okay, I understand it, you think you have the best patch of the soul on the east coast. Whatever it!"

If it's flying, it must be dope. Or as your grandfather could say, "the knees of the bee". The dancers onLiving in color were not called Fly Girls because they could levitate. They were just great.

Example: "YourVanilla ice cream Dance movements are totally stolen! "

When your sentence needs a little accent, this word will do the trick. It is an adjective that automatically adds three exclamation points.

Example:"I just watched theO.J. Simpson verdict, and I amHELLA surprised!"

This sentence comes from the same popular at the time. Sorry, no, I'm kidding. We hear music video. Remember these?Will Smith "Gettin 'Jiggy with her" taught the world that the only way to dance was as if you just cut two pots of coffee.

Example:"It was a difficult week at work. I need to make Jiggy with that."

A greeting. When you mean "Wassup" (that is, "What's new with you?") But it just seems like too much exercise from the mouth.

Example:"'Supper?" "Nuthin '."

Beirment, it's not (usually) meant as an insult. If someone is bugging, they behave unknown that concerns you. You want them to stop, or at least explain why they act so crazy.

Example: "Are you okay? Why are you?"

Someone had your wrong side and they will regret it. This does not necessarily mean that a physical grid is on the horizon. This end-to-end typing box can be translated as a verbal fastener.

Example:"He broke my Gameboy, so I'm about to open a can on him."

It looks like you launch someone from your home, but it's really a celebration festival. It's the way the person of the hip say, "I'm so proud of you !!"

Example: "Did you have this job promotion at Blockbuster? You go, daughter!"

You have not just dancing in the 90s, you broke out a movement. Why a dance move had to be exploded, like a common criminal, is a mystery for ages.

Example: "I work hard all week. I'm ready to hit clubs and make fun of myself!"

When someone was accused of being da bomb, it was not because they had the dynamite attached to the chest. Da Bomb was always a compliment, an expression of excitement and support. And it's not always obliged to be a person. An event, a new car, even a delicious meal could be a bomb.

Example: "This part has not stopped before sunrise. It was a bomb!"

The only piece of hip-hop slang that even people who had never heard a rap song could say semi-convincing. One of the most famous statements of Snoop Dogg, almost translated as "for sure".

Example: "Does I like spending time spending time away with you? Foshizzle!"

A version of "I'm sorry" that does not technically include excuses. Even if it's not supposed to be sarcastic, it always ends up seeming this way.

Example: "Oh, you did not want me to eat all your remains pizza? My evil!"

A punctuation for when someone has just been sunned and needs acknowledgment of receipt. It's a much shorter way to say, "This thing that had just said that you have been devastating in its satirical power and I do not see any feasible way that you can recover. My condolences but not really."

Example: "Two wrongs do not make right, take your parents as an example."

"Oh, Snap!"

Unlike "whack", what is the sound of something or someone who struck. Short for Wacky, Wack is all about a disturbed mental state.

Example:"You will move with her after a date? Dude, it'schat! "
