Beginning in the early ‘60’s and continuing today, what “slang” or “short comments” do you remember?
This is just a couple I do:
Harry...something that was a ‘close call’ people would say, “That was Harry”.
Tune in, turn on and drop out....LSD
Plastic....No not Michael Jackson, but a term used as someone who didn’t fit your way of thinking. "He's plastic"!

Something about Herb...... Don't know if that was from the 60's or not..
Hang a luey meant to turn left. And there was one I think about switch a bitch which meant to do a u-turn.
"Your a good egg"=Your a good person.
"You don't know shit from fat meat"=You know little
"You can't put friends in the bank"=Don't expect your friends to pay your way through life.
"Oh Shit" <-- need I say more?
Far out.
Right on.
It's hard to tell when some slang began. "Cool" has been around a long time. In the 60's, to rap meant to talk. I'm sure I use a lot of slang unconsciously, but I'm having difficulty bringing it to mind; I mean, other than swearing.
