Slang terms that have gone out of fashion within your lifetime

I can remember when I was in elementary school a lot of people would say, "Psych!" I haven't heard that one in at least fifteen years.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=psych

And also the similar slang usage of "Not!" at the end of a sentence seems to have died out as well.

What are some other recently dead slang terms you can think of? Any current slang you predict will be on the way out soon?

I still use 'sike'. I think YOU are out of touch, friendo.

a lot of the hip-hop related ones went out of fashion once they got into the wrong people. 'jiggy' for instance, you could probably say that once will smith made "get jiggy with it", that was the death of that. expect this to happen to swag/swagger quite soon.

"not"

as in.."That's a really nice shirt..NOT!!" har har har

I remember when we used to say "bad" for something when it was awesome.

'word up'

"Cool" never seems to go out of style.

you can stuff your sorries in a sack, mister

Man,.. that shit is PHAT!!!


lol ... phat.

cant stop!
wont STOP!
eh uh, eh uh

dope (i still say it every now and then), fly, ill, gully, gator, buku, the bomb, one.

Some new terms I've heard in the past couple of years:

scrilla / guap (money)

earth (to be put down/beat up/destroyed) "keep talking shit and I will EARTH you!" "It sounds like this motherf@#&er needs to get EARTHED!"

froggy (having an attitude or problem with someone / being in someone's face) "You're talking a lot of shit! If you're feelin' froggy then LEAP!!

cowabunga and neat-o, pretty much anything from the teenage mutant ninja turtles

put it in yo pocket, illin'

lol... I use some of the out of style ones sometimes for the purpose of parody/satire/sarcasm of said words while speaking, and most of the time people don't catch on and think I actually speak that way.

"Gag Me With A Spoon" is like totally out fashion dude.

dope
fresh
hype
ill
rad
butters
petro
shook
5000
swayz
break north
bounce
motivate [to a location]

Also I think epic is massively overused these days.

Only ever heard that word on Beerfest when they faced the British team.

Wtf does that even mean? Is that like the ker-plunk sound turds make when they hit the water?

Deece.

Actually, I think that was only at my high-school.
