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.

I'm only 30 and to me, the kids younger than me are REALLY messed up. Can't wait until my boy is old enough to spit slang...I'm doomed

Re: ..I know I'm old..
Thats like saying: "You have one "BAD" looking truck." So if your truck is Bad that thats good. Go figure

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..
Wait until you're old enough to be cute. No, not your truck, YOU! My daughter and daughter-in-law both refer to those "cute old men". So far, they still love me, though. I don't know that either of them have called me cute.
But, if your truck is "wicked bad", you'll know you've arrived.

The "bad" was probably from the immortalized line by the actess Mae West, "When I'm good, I'm very good. When I'm bad, I'm better." Wait.... I Just remembered my kids saying "neato" on occasions. Last edited by 68gmsee; 06-14-2011 at 02:00 PM. |

Re: ..I know I'm old..
I prefer the Great Philosopher/Musician/Bubblegum Singers In-Famous quote; postulated so keenly by Johnny Bravo, when he said;
"I think your truck is Real Groovy in a far out kinda way! Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

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).. |
