For those who were around in the 1970s, do you recall people talk in 70s slang like Jive Turkey, Can you dig it, Jack, and Foxy Mama?

Is it true from your memory from that time?

Yes

No

[nolabels]

I remember not hearing most of this type of language.
I was born in '58, so I went through the '70s as a teenager and a young man.

Most of that kind of talk was either strictly on TV and in the movies, or if it was on the streets, it certainly wasn't anywhere around where I lived.

I do remember saying "Far out" fairly often, and maybe a few others, too, but by and large, I think that the image of the '70s by those who weren't there to see it is largely fabricated by Hollywood.

Cheers to you.

Like "that 70s show " just fiction.

I wasn’t there for it but I’ve seen it movies and such. We need to bring back “Jack.” Good word to lean into emphatically, lmao. “Hit the road, JACK!”😝

[WhiteSteve]

Also just saw Freddie Prinze’s catchphrase from Chico And The Man on the list, hahahaha, I love that shit

@DryGermanGuy hahaha, THROWBACK. I haven’t seen that in so long, probably since the 90s

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I like the song called Jive Talking

[FunkyMonkee]

"Can you dig it" is `60's. Chances are, so was, "Foxy". Jimi had a song called, "Foxy Lady".
