80's Slang

[Onkel Neal]

My days at the cycle shop have me in contact with two types of people, mainly. Young guys who speak some strange ghetto-crypto tongue that sounds edgy, and vulgarians who make the hair on my neck crawl.

The vulgarians, can't do anything with these boobs. F F F F and occasionally, B. Boring and unimpressive.

But the young guys who gamely refer to stuff as "sick" when they mean "bad" ( and by that, I mean "cool"), who ask "where my rims at?" (I think that thump I just heard was Steve passing out), who respond to my puzzled stares at their mangled sport bikes with extended swingarms with "that's how we roll". Today I tried to reply to a question with, "O.M.G. y’all" and they fell out on the floor.

I think it's time for some payback. I wanna brush up on my 80s slang, get really smooth with it and start conversing in it. Just fight fire with fire (y'all) (oops). So, help me out here, dudes. What 80s slang can you recal? Not Valley Girl slang (on threat of the Brig), but genuine Van Halen era 80s slang. Be sure to provide an interpretation for your terms, I have a bad memory.

Rock on!
