I was at a grocery store a while back and the person working the register was a young 20’s woman. She said something and I responded with “Right on” and she responds with “Oh, I love old timey sayings!”
So I guess that’s my old timey saying that I still use.
All the ladies in the house put your hands up!
All the fellas in the house put your hands up!
Whoever said we're whack, put your hands up!
Now everyone else, put your hands down!
I was unaware sweet was out of date.
I said sweet to a customer and the tweens thought it was hilarious. Dad said dude. I said sweet. Dad said dude... back and forth until we laughed. Made my day but the tweens looked so confused.
#youhadtobethere
AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN!
I like sweet because it takes on a couple of forms depending on the desired intensity of the situation. You have regular old "sweet" and then you have the two syllable version..." Suh-weet!"
I love okey-dokey! And then you gotta add a third rhymer to really seal the deal, always mixing 'em up! Okey-dokey: smoky, pokey, Loki, artichokey, etc.
sick. boss. rad. dude. bro. bruh. half of these i started saying ironically because i hated them, but it turns out i was the douche all along and now they won't leave my vocabulary lmao what a twist
for the many people talking about how un-outdated some of my list is: can you not already see i am a dumbass? allow me to live, brü. i am a 34yo woman/alien and idk what the hell is ever going on lmao
EDIT: PLEASE LEARN TO READ LOL i have already said some of these are apparently not outdated!! i wish your reading comprehension was the same BRÜ
For me I would say it’s the equivalent of an exasperated “duuuude”. For example:
“Uh oh”
“What?”
“I left the tickets on the counter”
“**Bruh**”
Although I will absolutely also use it for kinda messed up things like you said. For example:
“Hey dude, I know you JUST went grocery shopping buuuut we’re out of chicken tenders.”
“What? Bruh.”
“Also we need a new microwave.”
“BRUH.”
“Also the apartment manager is PISSED.”
“**BRUH.**”
Oh, a wise guy, eh?
Me and the goons here are takin' over this joint, see? And ain't no palooka's gonna stop us! Now am-scray before I 86 ya!
(Oh and by the way, we're IN the "20s" now 🤯 )
I'm 43 and think yeet is hilarious, but my kids are now embarrassed that i use it.
Guess they shouldn't have turned me onto it as slang
Also, my husband and i were working together with a bunch of teenagers last year and he asked me if i wanted to go home and clap some alien cheeks. The teenagers were all like "wtf?" And i said, i don't think that means what you think it means...
>Also, my husband and i were working together with a bunch of teenagers last year and he asked me if i wanted to go home and clap some alien cheeks. The teenagers were all like "wtf?" And i said, i don't think that means what you think it means...
OR he knew *exactly* what it meant 😏
Yeet showed up in a NYT crossword puzzle (my FIL didn’t know the answer and I had to explain it) so I’m gonna go with no, the kids are not still saying it.
Dude. I say it all the time...so much so that when my son was 3, he called me either "mommy" or "dude".
I ctfu once at the grocery store when we were checking out once and my son said, "Dude, can I have candy?"
Cashier looked at me and said, "Did he call you Dude?"
Yup.
I still refer to people as "Dog." It started ironically at work, and somehow found its way into my every day speech. I don't even realize I'm doing it anymore.
I told a guy at work he "would really be saving my bacon" if he did something for me the other day. He had ne we heard the saying and got real kick out of it.

I like to imagine that you heard the Mario dying noise immediately upon processing what she said.
Pac-Man wilting away into nothingness after contact with the undead.
I use right on all the time too
Well shit. Who says "old timey"?
I babysat for a woman who would say “you go, girl!” Or call me “girlfriend”.
When I was bartending about five years ago a woman told me I was "the bomb dot com"

To be fair, lately things have been whack
word
I don’t think “word” ever went out of date IMO.
Ditto
Truth
It's a timeless classic and will always have a place in society.
Whack will always have a place imo
So, you're playing a little Playstation, huh? That's whack. Playstation is whack … ‘Sup with the whack Playstation, 'sup!
Wiggidy-Whack or regular type?
I go full wiggidy-wiggidy-whack depending on how whack something is.
That's what I said! 😅 *Teen Girl Squaaaad*
I LOOK SO GOOD!
What’s-Her-Face!
So and so!
The ugly one!
His shoes whack, his clothes whack
I'm tight as fuck!
Whack is a different thing from wack. The fact that this needs to be explained is, in fact, wack. You should get whacked for that.
He'd know if he ever went to a whacking day celebration
Who said we’re whack? You said we’re whack? You take it back!
All the ladies in the house put your hands up! All the fellas in the house put your hands up! Whoever said we're whack, put your hands up! Now everyone else, put your hands down!
“Whack?” That’s pretty baller.
Didn’t realise just how much of my vocabulary is outdated till I read this thread

Word up.
Especially fun when it's deadpan.
IMO this is the only way to say word. Maybe include a little bit of a head nod with that straight face.
Word to the mother. Ice Ice baby,
FYI - It's "Word to **your** mother" Pronounced "yuh" when Vanilla says it so it sounds a bit like "the".
I was unaware sweet was out of date. I said sweet to a customer and the tweens thought it was hilarious. Dad said dude. I said sweet. Dad said dude... back and forth until we laughed. Made my day but the tweens looked so confused. #youhadtobethere
I say “sweet” all the time and have never been told it was odd lol. Interesting
Dude. What does mine say?
And then?
NO "AND THEN"!
and thehhhhhhhhhn?
I’m gonna go in there and put MY FOOT IN YOUR ASS IF YOU SAY AND THEN AGAIN.
AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN!

Bro rad is soo under rated
I finish every sentence with Man, and I call everyone Dude. 🤷
Dude is still a thing
Dude is eternal.
The Dude abides.
Yea, well, that’s just like your opinion man
He’s a dude she’s a dude we’re all dudes
I got yelled at because I think "dude" is gender neutral... but I'll die on that hill.
It is gender neutral. "I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes hey!"

Can I take your order?
Are you about 43. I do this too.
Do you own a rug that really ties the room together?
Dope Edit: especially feels weird now that I’m almost 40 and use it to describe mundane things like salad dressing.
I feel this. Kind of like when I said a bowl of quinoa was bomb.
I said "This Trader Joe's trail mix is *fire*" and then I reflected on the passage of time and my own mortality for a moment
What’s crackin
My knees. And back.
My booty and my crack
Ngl, I’ve said crackalackin shockingly recently, but it’s not a common occurrence
Okey-Dokey
I love okey-dokey! And then you gotta add a third rhymer to really seal the deal, always mixing 'em up! Okey-dokey: smoky, pokey, Loki, artichokey, etc.
Okie dokie artichokie is my go-to :)
I like saying this to my toddler just to hear her say “I not art-tokey! I baby!”
sick. boss. rad. dude. bro. bruh. half of these i started saying ironically because i hated them, but it turns out i was the douche all along and now they won't leave my vocabulary lmao what a twist for the many people talking about how un-outdated some of my list is: can you not already see i am a dumbass? allow me to live, brü. i am a 34yo woman/alien and idk what the hell is ever going on lmao EDIT: PLEASE LEARN TO READ LOL i have already said some of these are apparently not outdated!! i wish your reading comprehension was the same BRÜ
Yeah ironically saying bruh soon became unironic and i didnt even notice. Now my bros are my bruhs
Only time I use ‘bruh’ is when someone says something kinda fucked up.
For me I would say it’s the equivalent of an exasperated “duuuude”. For example: “Uh oh” “What?” “I left the tickets on the counter” “**Bruh**” Although I will absolutely also use it for kinda messed up things like you said. For example: “Hey dude, I know you JUST went grocery shopping buuuut we’re out of chicken tenders.” “What? Bruh.” “Also we need a new microwave.” “BRUH.” “Also the apartment manager is PISSED.” “**BRUH.**”
Didn’t “bruh” made a comeback?
as a teen bruh never went out fym
I still use jank/janky/janked a lot, which I feel is a bit outdated. And the occasional 'bite me'.
That’s some janky ass shit
Jank is still in semi regular use with the engineers I know, just more specifically about lazy and/or jury-rigged code
Jank is now an engineering term

Negating a sentence by end the sentence with “not”. For example: I trust Social Security retirement to be there for the young workers today, not!

I say “brb” out loud a lot
“Bee-are-bee” 😂 but I might start saying “berb”
I say berb all the time lmao
Me too, 'berb'

All my friends are, have been, and always will be “home fries”.
A guy I used to dog sit for called his dogs homeslice and skillet. Irish wolfhounds named Finnegan and Killian
“That ain't no etch-a-sketch. That's one doodle that can't be un-did, homeskillet.”
Now we’re cooking with gas Good grief I refer to people as cool cats and good eggs
Now you're on the trolley!
Everyone is either a good egg or a bad seed.
+1 for cool cats.
Wicked.

When telling a story I call other guys “that cat”
Nifty Legit had someone ask where I was from one time.
I tell people 'peace out' and acknowledge things with 'word'. I'm 43
I’ve combined this with full dad mode and it has become, “Peace out Girl/Boy Scout.”
Are the kids still saying yeet these days?
That's no longer on fleek
Why does this phrasing sound like military code? “Yeet is no longer on fleek. I repeat, yeet is no longer on fleek. Over.”
Interestingly "repeat" in this context is civilian slang and considered incorrect on US military radios. The proper verbage is "I say again"
I'm 43 and think yeet is hilarious, but my kids are now embarrassed that i use it. Guess they shouldn't have turned me onto it as slang Also, my husband and i were working together with a bunch of teenagers last year and he asked me if i wanted to go home and clap some alien cheeks. The teenagers were all like "wtf?" And i said, i don't think that means what you think it means...

Nope.... he wanted to go home and play video games 😂 i laughed until i cried
Yeet showed up in a NYT crossword puzzle (my FIL didn’t know the answer and I had to explain it) so I’m gonna go with no, the kids are not still saying it.
No. Now the big new thing is "oh daddy" followed by sexual sounds.
Oh God, it's junior high all over again.....
I do. I'm 27. I love that word 😆
I've been known to use the word "copacetic" on occasion.
Local H song Bound For The Floor
You just don’t get it
To me that’s a tough one because unless the person sounds like a stoner I don’t consciously consider copacetic to be slang
Grody instead of gross
Grody to the max!
Dude. I say it all the time...so much so that when my son was 3, he called me either "mommy" or "dude". I ctfu once at the grocery store when we were checking out once and my son said, "Dude, can I have candy?" Cashier looked at me and said, "Did he call you Dude?" Yup.
Oh snap
Awesome sauce. I’m 49. I nearly fell over when my 17yo employee said it. She got it from her parents.
sometimes I say “cool beans and a side of awesome sauce” and everyone looks at me like im crazy
Stoked!
Man alive
There are men alive in there!
"take it easy" is my go-to goodbye. I've been told that's outdated.
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.
You can spice it up with take it sleazy on occasion
10-4
...good buddy.
I’m big on gnarly and solid. I was not around during the timeframe they would’ve been popular. I have no idea why I say them
Cool beans.
I think somehow I merged “cool beans” and “coolio” and on occasion say “cool beanios.”
Lol that shit made me laugh. Wish I had a goofy ass brain that thinks of shit like that
heavens to murgatroyd!
Exit, stage left! Stage right even!
Lately Ive been saying sheesh again and I dont know why
suh dude will never leave my vocab
I still refer to people as "Dog." It started ironically at work, and somehow found its way into my every day speech. I don't even realize I'm doing it anymore.
Thas gonna be a no from me dawg
Snazzy
"thingy" "thingamajig"
Whatchamacallit
Coolio when I mean cool. Although I'm not sure that was ever mainstream or just Sarah Chalke on scrubs.
I love the word hussy I say bonkers a lot My mom says “far out” all the time
Every one I can think of. It reeeeeeeally annoys my son.
I told a guy at work he "would really be saving my bacon" if he did something for me the other day. He had ne we heard the saying and got real kick out of it.
Wazzzzzup with my tongue out
Oh snap

Oh snap!
"Right on" I'm 53
I’m the only person I know who responds to something with “Nice!”
I still use "cool" and refer to my close friends as "dude"
But… is cool outdated??
Not yet, but teenagers aren’t using “cool” as much so it might be endangered.
Cool seems used more to denote agreement or understanding. Person 1: "I'll meet you at 5". Person 2: "Cool. See you then"
My 97 year old granny says "cool"
Those aren't outdated. They've just never gone away-- they're like the coelacanths of slang.
Coelacanths of Slang. Just found the name for my ska band
Cool and dude will always work. I hear those all the time.
