There was a podcast episode years back about how large quicksand loomed in popular culture for a whole generation, before vanishing as a concept almost completely.
And sure enough, I remember as a kid in the 80s worrying about stumbling into quicksand while wandering around the bushes in rural Canada.
Then I forgot about it as a concept until I heard it on that one episode, and I haven't heard it since.
Myrrh. I used to hear it as a kid in church. Haven't heard it in decades by now.
Disestablishmentarianism.
I say this almost daily lol
Affordable housing
Cowabunga and tubular!
80s were a good time!
Truthiness
As a software developer, I actually use "truthy" and "falsy" pretty regularly for "the computer thinks this value is true/false"
Vituperative. It's such a good word too.
Oh, that's good. A new one for me!
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
vituperative
adj 1: marked by harshly abusive criticism; "his scathing
remarks about silly lady novelists"; "her vituperative
railing" [syn: {scathing}, {vituperative}]
Isn't that a great word? I used to read a lot of Canadian classic literature and it was often in there.
Also garrolous is a good word.
Information superhighway
Skedaddle
Dag. Not like Snatch “ya like dags” but like “dag, yo”.
Well that certainly cleared up any concussion I had about which dag you meant.
Fleek
Thankfully.
I left Australia decades back, so all my slang vocabulary is stuck from when I left.
rorted - being high
having a pash - intense kissing
Defenestrate. What a word!
Have you read Russian news in the past decade? Defenestration is the preferred method of retirement in the Ruzzian government.
I love you too.
It's not a single word though.
Mack
"Did you mack her?"
So dumb lol
Schadenfreude
Trill
Booyah!
Pimpin
fag (and I mean "haven't used in years" in a very good way.)
saw someone on tiktok refer to casual sex as "tappin that", instantly knew their age
Sisyphean I come across it like once every few years in some article.
