It varied from year to year. Dude, rad, fresh, totally, cool, whats up, barf, gross, bogus, and others. My friends and I used to just play with words and make up stuff like beez play, or uck fay oo yay, and other weird kid stuff. Posts: 66 | From: Los Angeles | Registered: Feb 2003 | Site Updates: 0

I still say bogus! My friends always make fun of me but I just can't help it. It just comes out of my mouth whenever I'm angry. I used to make fun of my Hippie uncle for saying "groovy" all the time. I guess things never change.

Does anyone else remember talking pig latin? We did it in grade school. We also would write notes to each other, and made code keys up, and then you could pass secret notes to each other, and if someone else got them ,t ehy wouldn't be able to read them. We also would call each other by our name spelled backwards, some people had hilarious names that way.
I always still say "Like, you know" all the time, and I say duh! alot...

Here are some new ones as well as corrections of others above.
Poser: Someone who who pretended to be a skater but mostly carried their board around to look cool. They could be spotted because their boards weren't dinged up.
Gnarly: Somethin' that was cool. As in "That Chevy Nova is totally Gnarly."
Bitchin: See Gnarly.
Bogart: To hog something or not share. As in Dude! don't bogart the bong."
Skank: Gross or ugly. As in "That chick is a total skank."
Smegma: also used as smeg or smeghead. A cheesey substance that develops on on uncircumcised men's privates when they do not bathe regularly. It's was pretty bad to be called that.
Wannabe: Basically a poser but usually associated with someone who was trying to cross racial lines. A white guy trying to be black or mexican. "That dude is a total wannabe."
Heinous: Hard or difficult. As in "That math test was totally heinous."
Tripindicular: Very, very, very cool! "That new video game is totally tripindicular."
I'll add more if I can think of any.

Just tonight i got a dose of the new language. My brothers hockey team for example, some of them were saying yo, that's sick. I guess sick has replaced gnarly or radical. Times change.

Yeah, I have a friend who uses sick to describe stuff, too. Like, he would say, "The guy probably makes sick money doing that" or he will also say someone has a "grip" meaning a lot of something, as in a "grip" o' cash.
I think my kid phrases, some of which I still use, were mostly covered here already, except a few. If someone got proven wrong on something, we would say they got "moded" or "faced" I have no idea where it came from. And we called skanky girls "skaggs". Again, no clue.
And we talked, like, a thousand miles an hour. And I used to start every sentence with the word "okay". It used to drive my dad nuts! He locked me in my room with him and wouldn't let me out until I started a sentence without saying "okay" first. It was hard! I was in there with him for like, two hours!
