So were you like totally into rad music in the 80's? So what lingo was popular in the 80's. Tell us what area you lived in and what slang people used.

I was here in S. California, so Valley Girl speak abounded as well as surfer talk.

Those good ol' days. I lived in Brooklyn and we were total Yankees. If I remember correctly if someone was giving you the finger we would say, he's 'flippin' the top' or if we were talking about inhibitions during sex we would say 'she didn't get freaky she was angelin' him totally.' Another one that I remembered was if a person was a couch potato we called him 'a vegetable without the vitamins'. I haven't lived in Brooklyn for a long time. In fact I think some of the slang has changed since I lived there in the seventies and eighties. I wouldn't know
