Do you remember any words from when you were younger that aren't used that much anymore?

Question

For me baser is one of them, usually used to describe a broke, freeloader or cheap person. I know some of y'all will remember the word swag, anyone using this now is a cringatron prime 3000 😂

Lmao, at one of my bouncing jobs they used to call me “Sgt. Swag”, or “Swagnificent”💀💀💀 I remember being in the middle of a dance circle like 15-20 years ago, and a bunch of coworkers started chanting “Swag!…Swag!…Swag!…Swag!”, and the whole party joined in. Felt like a hot dog at the time but it’s so cringey in hindsight🤦‍♂️😂

I’m old as fuck, so there’s plenty of outdated slang, but at this point it’s just remembering it, haha. A lot of it I still use, just to fuck around, lmao, but it makes me forget that it’s out of style.

I still call shit “fly” all the time. Or it was “mad fly” back in the day, lmao, “that chick is MAD fly!” Or I’d say I was “mad vexed” if I was upset about something. “Vexed”, haha, that’s another golden oldie.

I’m remembering when I was real young, maybe like 10-14, we would say “hun” or “hunning” if we were playing sports, usually something like basketball. That meant you were/were being a ball hog. “Quit fuckin’ hunnin’ it, kid!”, “Don’t be a hun, pass the ball!”

I also remember “scooping” was what we called making out, or I think it was maybe specifically tongue-kissing.

I didn’t really say it, but I came up when “phat” and “da bomb” were invented🤦‍♂️😂

Then there are a bunch of things we used to say but don’t anymore because…. it was a different time😅😅😅

Hip
Groovy (I always hated that one)
Dig
Dig it
Far out
Burned out
Burnout (multiple meanings)
Psyched
Bread (I didn't like that one either)
Weirded out
Spaced
Space cadet
Ozone
Busted (multiple meanings)
Lid
Bag
Fried
Zonked

Shotgun

I'll stop for now. Maybe more later.
