Fun Flashback

Sometimes a single word can prompt an entire story, create a conversation, or inspire a blog post.  These words often arise from the most unexpected situations.  This blog post is a perfect example.

Gnarly?  Does anyone use that word anymore?  I laughed at my real 1980’s “Valley Girl” moment.

Then came my “ah, the 1980’s.  Good times,” moment.

If you are old enough to remember the 1980’s, you probably love the iconic movies and still appreciate the “totally rad” vocabulary.

Because I couldn’t help myself, here is a list of the top slang terms used ‘back then.’

How many of these words do you remember?

and my personal favorite
