I thought, "man that's an old term" which made me think of other old slang words...which made me think of flashback Friday! This is gonna be fun!!
Let's start with the best slang from the 50's, which kind of surprised me because I wouldn't have guessed that some of the slang we still use, was that old! I want to bring some of them back!! Like "cat" and "dig" and "hip". I love those!!
