Remember all those cool and hip lines you used growing up? Yeah, me neither. Iso started a thread about it and for the life of me I couldn't think of a damn thing. Now all the ridiculous things we used to say keep popping up. Randomness is awesome until you can't explain it. Take "What a Cahwinkidink" for instance (written as it sounds... obviously). It's supposed to be a play on the word 'coincidence'. In high school we were all about being clever. Now that I'm all grown up I realize... we really weren't. I remember our maid asking me where my sister was. I responded with "Beats me". That started off a ten minute discussion on what it meant. In Junior High everything was "rad' or 'radical'. That's rad, man. Of all the clever little sayings I grew up with (being a Valley girl I had a lot of them), the only ones that really stuck are "OMG", "totally" and "like". Thankfully "totally" and "like" are dying out. I use them more around my lamer friend Eileen. :p I haven't gotten to the age where someone has had to explain the new and even hipper terms to me. Kinda dreading that day, actually. You know... because then I'd be old. *shudders*
