..........And all other members born in the 50's/60's:


Did people really say things like "Far out" and "Groovy?" Or is that just an extreme thing conveyed in films and tv shows. I've seen pictures of my mom from the late 60's and it startles me. So i'm really curious... If people really did have crazy lingo like that, did YOU guys say "Far out" and "Groovy" as well?

I STILL say them.

It's groovy, man.

When I was a boy, we said "Far out, man !"....

... and we liked it ! :D

Christ, you really are a coffin stuffer aren'tcha!

You do realise 3 out of those 4 have cobwebs around their ears, right? It will be a miracle if they even remember that far back.

Gee Posh, real subtle. I use 50s lingo from time to time even. Having class is not something dependant on age.

Maybe you should be on aim right about now?

most of the things you see in the movies are concentrated and mainly from the urban centres (back then)

pop culture trends were stronger in the cities - outside of them it was pretty much business as usual .. or it was.

that's changed now because of the exposure given by the media/internet/etc

back in the 60's and 70's i lived in a small town .. you didnt see hippies or other pop culture extremes there - just in the larger cities.

then again i was never one to use popular phrases either. didnt then, dont now.



its kind of the opposite of extreme accents.

in most cities - people talk fairly the same - but when you get into more rural areas - the regional accents/slang are used heavily

Haha, I'm 19 and I use "far out". The 60s language is fun- hell of a lot better than the lingo my generation calls their own.

some of the lingo

COOL---I still say it

Far Out--never really got into that one

Solid--made famous by Linc Hayes [Mod Squad ]--I'm actually trying to bring that one back...all by myself

Crazy --never said it

Groovy-- brought back by ASH
