Word <\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Then (1985)<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

Awesome\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n

Today we say extremely good or excellent, and then it literally meant filled with awe!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
 <\/p>\n

Grody or Grotty<\/strong><\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disgusting or shabby; poor quality<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bodacious<\/strong><\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

Excellent, admirable, or attractive.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gnarly<\/strong><\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

Difficult, dangerous, or challenging.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gag me with a spoon<\/strong><\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

Showing disgust or disappointment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lame<\/strong><\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

Boring or uncool<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fine<\/strong><\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now it means agreeable or ok, and in the 80s it meant attractive or looking good.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wicked<\/strong><\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

The word was used as \u201cexcellent\u201d in 80s slang, and now it means very bad!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

Phat<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n

Looking great! Highly attractive<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
