And Obama would be a mullato.

Guinea or Ginny for Italian. Heeb. For Jewish. Mick for Irish.

Ginger for redhead.

All gone due to the thought police who are not at all concerned about killing babies outside the womb which is equally and more psychologically hurtful

When you want the whole truth and nothing but the truth, you ask for the skinny. Because, well, apparently the truth had a high metabolism in the 70s.

That was in common use when I served in the Navy (1961-'64). It applied to information. "Give me the skinny on liberty call at our next port".

“I think it crossed over into the 70s.

I don’t remember the 60s ;)”

If you remembered the 60’s you weren’t there....Period

my very local regional slang when I was a kid was "lewd" as in "cool".

Seeing the Thunderbirds at Pease AFB?

"Oh, lewd!"

If something was really cool, then it was

"Wicked pissa lewd!"
