Heh, I use it everyday
"I wish I was happy..."

There was a podcast episode years back about how large quicksand loomed in popular culture for a whole generation, before vanishing as a concept almost completely.
And sure enough, I remember as a kid in the 80s worrying about stumbling into quicksand while wandering around the bushes in rural Canada.
Then I forgot about it as a concept until I heard it on that one episode, and I haven't heard it since.
Myrrh. I used to hear it as a kid in church. Haven't heard it in decades by now.
Bro isn't playing enough Fire Emblem.
Disestablishmentarianism.
I wish I could say the same. But my kids say it a lot..
"Antidisestablishmentarianism"
(To be fair, they like looking up words to see who can find the biggest ones.)
Cowabunga and tubular!
80s were a good time!
Gnarly, dude.
Every time I see someone at work carrying tubes I can't help myself and say "totally tubular my dude!" Lol
Truthiness
As a software developer, I actually use "truthy" and "falsy" pretty regularly for "the computer thinks this value is true/false"
Strategery
Vituperative. It's such a good word too.
Oh, that's good. A new one for me!
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
vituperative
adj 1: marked by harshly abusive criticism; "his scathing
remarks about silly lady novelists"; "her vituperative
railing" [syn: {scathing}, {vituperative}]
Isn't that a great word? I used to read a lot of Canadian classic literature and it was often in there.
Also garrolous is a good word.
Discombobulate
Surplus
Phat! As in cool. Haven't heard that one in wellllll over a decade.
Dag. Not like Snatch “ya like dags” but like “dag, yo”.
Well that certainly cleared up any concussion I had about which dag you meant.
I left Australia decades back, so all my slang vocabulary is stuck from when I left.
rorted - being high
having a pash - intense kissing
Defenestrate. What a word!
Have you read Russian news in the past decade? Defenestration is the preferred method of retirement in the Ruzzian government.
Bodacious
Tubular
Take a whiz
Majorly
Crunk
Floppy (disk)
Choke (on a vehicle)

Sisyphean I come across it like once every few years in some article.
