I've read about the 60s in the history books. I've heard of the first three words, but never heard of the fourth one.

National Guard

I think you forgot "far out"

During the 70's we started making fun of the 60's words and said "gravy" (instead of groovy) and "close in" (instead of far out). There were others but alas I can not remember them!

The one I thought most popular at the time was "will you marry me?" That was a mistake. Tried it again in the 70's and it's still most popular.

Whirlwind

#4 reminds me of a lyric from a currently popular song: "You think your name is 'Pass the Joint'". So not much has changed.

Whatever

You have to include joint.

I think the word "man" as in "far out, man", "cool, man" etc etc...belongs on the list.

System

For some reason our 'group' changed 'far out' to 'farm out' and 'right on' to 'right arm.' Don't forget 'psychodelic' and 'I can relate to that, (man).'

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate. Either that or a call for a random!

lhill

I remember "bag", as in "that's not my bag" meaning "that's not of interest to me".

Linda

System

That sounds like a line from "Cool Hand Luke."

Beave

I have heard of people way back when, using the phrase "far out man". This was of course YEARS before MY time. x0:)

HRLASS

Right on! I think they missed the joke (or they weren't there).

Draft was a big word in my vocabulary, as in "How can I avoid the .....".

I was not successful in that pursuit

Hunter it was easy. You just had to make sure your lottery number was high enough, like mine was.
