20 Argot Conditions of the 1950s No One uses Anymore
Not all the 50s is considered a classic.
The first thing you could notice on the slang of the 50s is the way it can be Wordy. It is a crystalline contrast of the modern slang, which often tries to communicate ideas not only with fewer words, but lessletters. Millennials, apparently in a hurry, use stenography as Jomo (the joy of disappearing), perf (perfect) and JK (just laugh). Not so with the slang of the 50s.
Why say someone is lying when you can claim that they illuminate the sign of inclination? I do not remember something? A millennium will use an acronym of slang as Cr (stenography for "can not remember things"), but a 50s hip cat looks like he has "smog in the noggin". Crazy, right? Well, here are 20 other slang terms of the 50s who were common, but became off in the 21st century. And for more explosions of the past, check these40 things that only the elderly say.

Example:"Burn rubber and let's show what this car can do!"

People in the 1950s eventually thought they were frogs. Or they envy the lifestyle amphibically. We can not think of a better explanation for why they call their homes or apartments their "buffer". And speaking of sweet buffers: give your your face with these30 best elegant home improvements.
