Cool was the one then and it's still the one now. But there's a new one. Oh yeah, there is. Boosh! Yeah, that's so gonna catch on. It has to. How could it not? Ba-ba-boosh!

"23 skidoo" ;o) Oh wait, that was my grandpa. Oh well, it sounds cool anyway.

Awesome, radical, cool, neat I think there was a tubular or dudical out there, but I never used those.

"Cut Lunch" meant no good. A "sword" was an amazing looking guy
-
"Sweet" and "cool" and "groovy" all had their moments. "Syke" was a huge deal for a while... tho my parents never let us use it because they said it was short for "psychopathic liar".

I was a kid in the 60's and we said "choroded" for something bad, and "slick" for something good.

I was an 80's/90's kid. "Far Out" was popular in the 80's. And in the 90's it was "phat" (pronounced fat)to mean something/someone was nice looking.

"Dude! I totally dig you Hammer pants... PSYCHE!" Yeah. We "dug" it. It was "bogus" or "rad" and if it was a bad idea, "BART!" or a REALLY bad idea "BAR-tholomew!" or "BLIND BART-amaeus" and it just escalated from there.

Showing my age I guess. 'Neat' is still in my vocabulary as is an occasional 'cool'. I will let out an awesome but it was from later in my life that I acquired that so I guess when I say it I really mean it.

It's good to be cool, it's good to be hot, it's even good to be warm. It's bad to be cold. So there is some minimum temperature you have to be above to be acceptable.
