Beans (as in "That's the beans!")

Gnarly

As an old white milk drinker who still unironically says rad, I can say with some authority that it was always “cool beans” and never just “beans”.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago

I hear lots of people still saying rad, and I think that's rad

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

I use rad, gnarly and groovy daily. I'd like to see some old timey insults come back like Blockhead or Pumpkin Lilly

[-] CrushKillDestroySwag@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

I only use the most smooth Californian slang, like swood big-cool

[-] Southloop@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

I don’t know. Saying “milk drinker” makes you sound like a total Melvin.

Having to assert you aren't a Melvin is a prime characteristic of a Melvin

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

I say rad, grouse, sick. My dad says groovy. We're cool.

It is an invocation of your name, and the coolness it brings forth. Grouse as a mouse in a house screm-cool

I use sick very frequently.

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Gen Z still uses sick and dope pretty often, not out of use in the same way rad or groovy are

I've literally never heard "grouse" before tho lmao

[-] Red_Sunshine_Over_Florida@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

I want the word humbug to come back. I want to call someone a pettifogging humbug like it's the 1890s.

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

I still use rad, albeit exclusively to refer to animals irl and monster designs in media.

"That's a rad little dude." -me, looking at cool bug.

Twenty two ski doo

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

Far out. It's so cheesy and charming lol

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

This and milkdrinker are the only ones I agree with

[-] LemonGrease@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

I always use far out when referring to my tastes in music

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

It's still in use in Australia. Generally by adults that were about to say fuck then realised there are toddlers present.

Dweeb or Pomo would be ones that I'd like to see come back. Rad (My wife says this all the time, she's rad ^^)

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

Dweeb is so funny. Love to call ppl dweebs

[-] roux@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

When the fuck did groovy go out of style? That word has been part of my lexicon for like a decade yo.

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

MIlksop is an even better version than Milkdrinker.

[-] crispy_lol@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah if you eat milk you should get called cow pus drinker, bloodmouth, carnist scum, calf killer, etc. At least a little bit.
