Yes, back in the 80’s I actually spoke like this. And some of these phrases I like totally still use, okay? :-)
2. Barf me out – In response to someone who says something offensive.
3. Gag me with a spoon – A response to something you don’t like.
4. Tubular – something that is cool.
5. Totally – yes, I totally still say this all the time.
6. Rad/Radical – attractive
7. Gnarly – Great/cool
8. Have a cow – As in ‘Don’t have a cow, man.’
9. Grotesque – you’re making me sick.
10. Hoser – i.e. jerk/loser
11. For sure/fer sher – Used in exclamation, as “Fer sher, dude!”
12. Awesome – One of my all-time favorite words, still in high rotation in my vocabulary.

Dude. "Hoser" is so totally still cool.
I used a few of those......awesome in timeless in my opinion! Happy TT.
I remember many of those! I always thought #3 sounded so strange.
TOO funny! I remember them all so well!
LOL! I just missed Valley-girl speak, but my cousin used all of these, and my mom picked them up. She still calls things "bogus." Cracks me up.
This is an awesome list! I use *Don't have a cow* still but then I think I used it before valley-girl speak was popular. Thanks for the smile this morning. :)
LOL! Valley Girl was one of my favorite movies ;)
I started an alphabet TT a few weeks back and I listed "awesome" as one of my favorite words.
And I still use totally all the time.
Every once in a while I'll go hog wild and let loose with a "Totally Awesome."
Like, awesome list. Like, I really mean that... :)
I like, totally used those phrases, too! And still totally use some of them.
I only knew half of these. Would it be bad if I started to use them now?
Totally.
Like this post is tubular to the max, radical! I'd love to read more but I totally need more leg warmers!
That was hysterical. I enjoyed this - thanks much! :)
My TT this is week is about the 13 Myths of Sarah Palin
It's very interesting to remember the slang of years gone by. But, each generation has theirs and I watch and learn as each one goes by.
Happy TT!
gag me with a spoon. like totally
what do valley girls call pimples?
I was so glad that the stupid spoiled whore valley girl crap ended but then it came back with a vengence because of course most Americans are dumb as shit. So a new rule should be that anyone caught saying awesome should get slapped at least twice right in the mouth!
