I grew up in the 60s and 70s and I never heard anyone say “cool beans” until I read a Stephen King book in the 1990s where had one character say it and I thought it was dorky as hell.
huh.. (i still use a lot of them!)
I have always considered suck a four letter word.
Harassment suit material now.
Groovy.
I remember him.
“Catch you on the flip-side. ... The other side of today is tomorrow,”
It doesn’t necessarily mean ‘tomorrow’. It means “later”.
“we know, it doesn’t make sense to us either.”
It makes perfect sense. Obviously the writer never used vinyl records.
“If you find a woman’s body especially attractive, you might say she was built like a brick house.”
That’s not right; it’s not the entire saying.
What is this author — twelve years old?
Everybody’s Truckin’ was sung by white guys from Texas.
And Commander Cody covered it in the early 70s F’s intact.
Brick house comes from the saying “built like a brick s—t house”.
Song by the Commodores even pauses a moment so you can throw that word in
She’s a brick (...s—t..) house

Another day, another buck three-eighty
I think it crossed over into the 70s.
I don’t remember the 60s ;)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
the blurr?
Dave’s not here, man
Some of those I never heard and the others are mostly still in use at least hereabout.
I don’t think this one came out until later in the 80s. I always heard it being used in relation to doing business. Like as in a business deal or decision being good for the bean counters. Cool Beans.
Could have been used in other ways, but I only heard it being used like this in business circles.
Adoy!
Graduated high school in 78. In beer heads those either. And far out was a thing in the 70s. Can you dig it ?
Some are still in use. Some seem regional as I’ve never heard them. Some seem misquoted sucheck as “Catch you on the flip flop” rather than flipside.
I still use the complete term, Bad A$$. lol
