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.

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.

#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 · June 2005

You have to include joint.

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

System · June 2005

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!

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

Linda

System · June 2005

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

Beave · June 2005

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

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

Hunter1 · June 2005

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

I was not successful in that pursuit

ray a · June 2005

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