I will never forget a "much cooler" than I (which would not be hard) co-worker at a money mangement firm counselling me on the significance of the word "deal-io," as in "what's the dealio," and me thinking "gee-golly, thanks for the street help--I know tha dilly, huggy bear."

Not might even go back to the 70s, I've seen an SNL sketch feat. Bill Murray as Chaz the Spaz and Gilda Radner that uses it.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 20 February 2006 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

Would you agree that it became a lot more common in the 90s? Like, middle and high school kids and their (our) teachers using it?

― novamax (novamax), Monday, 20 February 2006 21:16 (nineteen years ago)

seriously....audi 5000. i still hear that all the time and it sounds so strange everytime.

― samg (samg), Monday, 20 February 2006 22:53 (nineteen years ago)

Dan, does the hand gesture you're talking about involve dragging your nails down in front of your face, as if ripping off a mask from the top down -- i.e., the football ref signal for facemasking? We were talking about this a few weeks ago. The general usage was just FACE, I think, which I suppose replaced BURN and was in turn replaced by PWN. I think the source trails back to "in your face," but who knows.

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 20 February 2006 22:59 (nineteen years ago)

you're forgetting 'clowned' and before that, 'crunch', they may have been in the 80's(I'm allowing that white people prob. lived in a much later 'slang time zone' back before the web). Audi 5000 was 80's I think, by 90' or 91' I remember hearing "Audi 17,500" and other variations on rap songs.

i'm partial to 'whip' slang for a tight car.
'tight' for that matter, unless that's from the 80's too.

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 04:12 (nineteen years ago)

i also remember heavy usage of "audi 5000" -- always thought it was a play on "indy 500."

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

yeah see y gotta understand the entire shift of american language occurred during this decade, the fads such as one-shoulder overalls that my k5 teacher said would die early survives to the current tastefully employed. perhaps constructed by the massive fusion of the destruction and reconstruction of the boundaries between the arts, the crack undernomic overclass with its flagging subversion behind the banner of unshot-leg cane-limping superficialities

the masses began to accept a new grammar without knowing, living under its conditions. this even is happening in britain to a hyperactive lesser degree. its quite animalistic

I think it was still the 90's when people started trying to use my most-hated, fakest, top-down slang words "'za" and "'rents".
I know For Better or For Worse tried it; probably the only other ones were government and corporate websites aimed at teenagers. No young person would ever actually say that shit.

― Dan I., Thursday, 31 July 2008 02:21 (seventeen years ago)

'za? Is that short for Pizza or something?

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Thursday, 31 July 2008 02:25 (seventeen years ago)

"I know, rite"

Or is that newer?
