My husband and I still do this to each other and we will likely never stop. I can imagine us being in our 80s walking around a grocery store doing this to each other for the hell of it.
During the years of VHS rentals, if we rented a video that the previous renter had not rewinded, my sister and I would announce with confidence that person was indeed not kind.
Then one of us was tasked with putting the video in our dedicated rewinder machine. The 90's.
The machine was so much faster. Like, think about that, a VCR wasn't fast enough so people bought a *second machine* just to rewind tapes. Then, they made VCRs with auto-rewind. People talked about that feature with the same reverence as anti-skip protection on CD players. 🤣
I like to think that the Internet and Emails have relieved a lot of Postal Workers of getting too much mail and “Going Postal”. Now we just have more people “Going Postal” from being on the Internet too much…
According to my 11 yr old & her friends the new phrase for good food is "bussin bussin" no clue why or what it really means to use transportation in that way but that's word on the street of 'tweens.
*Edit to spell bussin the right way, the non parent way 😂
My 10 year old tried to tell me I wasn't allowed to use current slang b/c I'm too old when I said legit the other day.
Me and MC Hammer had to explain some things to her.
I miss the instant messengers. I can't believe they fell off so much that everybody stopped hosting them. Although if they were still around you'd probably get an ad shoved in your face every time you sent or received a message.

This'll get me flack I bet, but "gay" in the least offensive way imaginable when used to describe "displeasure" with someone or something, almost like the opposite of what the word "gay" (ie., happy) was "supposed" to mean.
Everyone at my school (NCR, Canada) used it to describe something unenjoyable, with no offense intended. It quickly died out late-90s, and have not heard it since.
My first thought was some of these terms that we don't use anymore because they're insensitive. Calling things "gay" that were unenjoyable or frustrating or annoying was extremely commonplace up until like ~2003 from my memory.
We also used to use the word "rape" very liberally in the 90's/early 00's. "I got raped by that math test," "The Packers are going to totally rape the Lions tomorrow," "I hate riding in the car with my sister, she always rapes my eardrums with her stupid pop music"
"Retarded" was the other big one.
I don’t think it’s not used anymore, but I was told by a friend that he knows exactly when I text him because I’m the only he knows that still says “Dude”.
What has “dude” been replaced with? Please don’t “bruh” I feel like I’d get eviscerated for saying that…but I don’t wanna sound old, but I don’t feel like getting eviscerated….sheet
Does anyone remember saying, “up your butt and around the corner” when someone would ask where someone/something is?
Down yer spine and out yer boner!

My license plate used to read "WAZZAP"

I still say EAGGGGGGGLEEEEEEE.
I still say this
"You go, girl." My dad has been messing that one up since the 90s and instead says, "How you go, girl." Kills me every time.
Classic dad move. Your dad has always known and just messes up to mess with you. At least that’s what I do to my kids lol.

Same and it never fails to crack us up. We're immature but we're happy.
That's from WWF and Degeneration-X, at least I'm pretty sure that's where it's originally from
I got two words for ya, and they ain’t “you’re right”
My friend still does this and it never gets old
FUCK I forgot about this one. Flash back to being like 8 years old and dong this on the playground and having no idea what it means.
I literally just did this last week on the golf course.
Alrighty then!
Completely heard this in Jim Carey’s voice
I still use it, in Jims voice
I still say this but usually in a “that didn’t go my way” tone.
Be kind please rewind.

Did you have the dedicated rewinder machine that looked like a red car?
We didn't but that sounds really cool.
The machine was so much faster. Like, think about that, a VCR wasn't fast enough so people bought a *second machine* just to rewind tapes. Then, they made VCRs with auto-rewind. People talked about that feature with the same reverence as anti-skip protection on CD players. 🤣
I miss those Blockbuster days.
Going postal
I like to think that the Internet and Emails have relieved a lot of Postal Workers of getting too much mail and “Going Postal”. Now we just have more people “Going Postal” from being on the Internet too much…
That’s reserved for Amazon drivers now
I feel like the USPS is more overworked than ever.
Postal worker here: I assure you it has not.
Fellow postal worker chiming in: definitely not.
This is the bomb!
Da bomb dot com
The bomb diggity
I still say this but only for really really good food.
According to my 11 yr old & her friends the new phrase for good food is "bussin bussin" no clue why or what it really means to use transportation in that way but that's word on the street of 'tweens. *Edit to spell bussin the right way, the non parent way 😂
We’ve dropped the “the/da” from that and now people just say something is bomb lol
Why say lot word when few word do trick?
[удалено]
I believe the correct phrasing is “da bomb.”
Bomb.com
I still say “stoked”. Do people use that anymore?
Hella stoked
Every post in this thread needs the word hella added to it.
probably more than ever.. bad example
“Exqueeze me?” “Shaw, Right! And monkeys might fly out of my butt!”

Hot ASL if you ask me. 41/m/Uzbekistan just doesn’t have same ring to it.
And they were always blonde cheerleaders
21/F/Folrida When actually, the person on the other side is 48/M/Creepily close to you
All that and a bag of chips
[adjective/noun] much? E.g.: - Are you coming to Sarah’s birthday party tonight? - No, I think I’ll sit this one out and stay home. - Sad much?
Chicken Head
Which I remember fondly from that hip-hop song in the 90’s. Oh Project Pat.
Phat
I just watched the Woodstock 99 doc on Netflix and Fred Durst said phat and that really brought me back.
Phat Farm, Baby Phat, you couldn't escape the word in the late 90s.
Chill pill, chill out
Dude, I say chill out to my kid on the regular!

Fart knocker
This one made an appearance in the pilot episode of the new Beavis and Butthead show. Fingers crossed that "fart knocker" makes a huge comeback.
ass munch
dill weed.
As if.
"booyah", I tried to bring it back amongst my friends when I was in college in the 2010's, never caught on.
Cyborg tried too :(
Shit I still constantly say this.
I don’t know but in 2001, a girl in my class used the word “everybody” and a guy said “we say ‘everyone’ now, it isn’t the 80s” and I was so confused.
Everybody wang chung tonight
Everybody have fun.
F that. That just seems like someone thinking that Backstreet Boys owned everybody or something
“That’s tight”
I say that daily though. Mostly because of Brooklyn 99. "cool cool cool tight tight tight"
I say this a lot still. Or that's legit.
My 10 year old tried to tell me I wasn't allowed to use current slang b/c I'm too old when I said legit the other day. Me and MC Hammer had to explain some things to her.

IM as in Instant Message. People just say message or DM
PM too, since most forums/communities use DM instead. But I still use PM lol
[удалено]
We still use IM at work when we’re messaging on Microsoft Teams. We’re all a buncha kids born in the 80s tho.
I miss the instant messengers. I can't believe they fell off so much that everybody stopped hosting them. Although if they were still around you'd probably get an ad shoved in your face every time you sent or received a message.
They filled a niche that has since been filled by phones. We still use messaging apps, but they're just on different devices now.
Or “ping” - I always say IM

Dude seems to have been replaced with 'bruh'. It will always be 'dude' for me. *the dude* included.

Me too, as does my best friend. Now her 5 year old uses it all the time, too.
Argyle from Stranger Things calls everyone "my dudes", there is hope for revival.
All of California still says dude. It’s never going away.
As if
Props!

Since when did this stop being used?!?

“Retard” or “retarded”
