Did you ever see the movies, "Valley Girl", "Surf II" or, "Fast Times At Ridgemont High"? They're really rad! Like, totally bitchin' and gnarly!! Copacetic?

1985 - 1995 WERE THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE and the soundtrack was the GOAT

Watch "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" that will give you a primer on 80's slang.
