1970s Slang Wordsmy favorite would be cream, as in: cream in my jeans

but there are lots more.

another is bitchen which probably arrived slightly earlier but was popularized then.

these are 70s:

  • foxy
  • foxes (guys<--no, both sexes. id est: "fox on the run")

otoh, most of these showed up way earlier:

30s/40s:

  • to be "keen on" someone
  • smooch

50s, beat/jazz slang:

  • cool
  • swell (as in "Tommy's really a swell guy")

debatable. i would think 60s, but could be 70s:

  • neato

60s:

  • hang 10!
  • groovy
  • far out

never heard:

  • lets motor [let's book, maybe]

later than 70s: not in los angeles. maybe nyc, tho it would be later, 80s:

  • chicas (girls)

2003-ish:

  • pimp juice (it is what Dylan Sin doesnt have)

i have a whole lotta work to do or i'd send you up some more. otoh, i will leave you w/ the knowledge that, in context, this is where & when we, the world received:

  • dude.
  • *dudette came a little bit later.
  • bi--at least in the more common culture. it is as debatable as the onset of "neato" whether the common culture even recognized the concept before the 1970s
