Lingo of the 80s
"Like" anything
Totally
Awesome!
Gag me with a spoon!
Don't have a cow!
Radical
Tubular
Omigod!
Gnarley
Dude
Psyche!
Killer
Chill
FerSure
Butthead
Therefore, a conversation of the 1980s might sound somewhat
like this:
"Omigod! Last night I met this, like, totally awesome
dude with, like, a radical car but, like, his clothes - UH! - like, gag
me with a spoon!"
Anything in this format must be spoken as quickly as
possible in order to be truly 80s!
