Re: ..I know I'm old..

just a heads up, if someone says your truck is the sh!t... it is also a thumbs up and not calling your truck sh!t.

Re: ..I know I'm old..

Yeah, every generation seems to get a little worse with the use of slang than the one before, and this is coming from a youngin of 30 years old! lol But I will always like one of Boyd Coddington's terms of endearment when refering to someones ride: "That is one *****in truck!" Does it mean my truck is like my wife when I have upset her? HAHA. Nope, it means it is one awesome ride!

Re: ..I know I'm old..

My old boss used to say... "Huba Huba!" and "va va voom!"

Not sure when that was in vogue but it was always when he saw something he liked (and not just girsl)..

The words "Sock it to me" comes to mind.

Re: ..I know I'm old..

I guess hip talk or slang has always been pretty odd when you analize it...these are the lyrics to an Ela Ma Morse song from back in the forties, it also has one of the earliest uses of the word "homey"

Quote:
(Man)
Well, wha-ah-ahtcha say, Baby?
You look ready as Mr. Freddie, this black.
How 'bout you an' me goin' spinnin' at the track?

(Woman)
What's that, Homey?
If you think I'm goin' dancin' on a dime,
Your clock is tickin' on the wrong time.

(Man)
Well, what's your pleasure, Treasure?
You call the plays, I'll dig the ways.

(Woman)
Hey, Daddio,
I'm not so crude as to drop my mood,
On a square from way back.
I'm in there and have to dig life with Father.
And I mean Father Slack.

(Man)
Well, Baby, your play gives my wig a solid flip.
You snap the whip, I'll make the trip.
