As an old white milk drinker who still unironically says rad, I can say with some authority that it was always “cool beans” and never just “beans”.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

I hear lots of people still saying rad, and I think that's rad

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

I use rad, gnarly and groovy daily. I'd like to see some old timey insults come back like Blockhead or Pumpkin Lilly

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

I only use the most smooth Californian slang, like swood big-cool

I don’t know. Saying “milk drinker” makes you sound like a total Melvin.

Having to assert you aren't a Melvin is a prime characteristic of a Melvin

I say rad, grouse, sick. My dad says groovy. We're cool.

It is an invocation of your name, and the coolness it brings forth. Grouse as a mouse in a house screm-cool

I use sick very frequently.

Gen Z still uses sick and dope pretty often, not out of use in the same way rad or groovy are

I've literally never heard "grouse" before tho lmao

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

I still use rad, albeit exclusively to refer to animals irl and monster designs in media.

"That's a rad little dude." -me, looking at cool bug.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

I want the word humbug to come back. I want to call someone a pettifogging humbug like it's the 1890s.

Far out. It's so cheesy and charming lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

This and milkdrinker are the only ones I agree with

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I always use far out when referring to my tastes in music

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

It's still in use in Australia. Generally by adults that were about to say fuck then realised there are toddlers present.

MIlksop is an even better version than Milkdrinker.

Dweeb or Pomo would be ones that I'd like to see come back. Rad (My wife says this all the time, she's rad ^^)

Dweeb is so funny. Love to call ppl dweebs

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

When the fuck did groovy go out of style? That word has been part of my lexicon for like a decade yo.

U reek of milk

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah if you eat milk you should get called cow pus drinker, bloodmouth, carnist scum, calf killer, etc. At least a little bit.
