50s dude could uno-reverse card that shit by breaking out the slang from his own teen years. Get all the gens conversing this way in one thread just for pure chaos-sake.

We definitely had ridiculous slang in the 89s and 90s, but the truth is I always felt like the media over-played it trying to sound cool. And when we’d over-play it amongst ourselves it was as a way to laugh at adults.
Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace? Cowabunga. Some of my favorite stuff had excessive references to skateboarding, roller blading, or other Xtreme sports (Hackers, anyone?) and that’s coming from a guy who used to be a part of that scene.
Maybe I’m wrong. If I am that wouldn’t be fetch.

Dude, it was radically tubular.
TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It was phat. Raise the roof. You’re bodacious.
Otherwise, gag me with a spoon because I’m grody.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yes, but are you bout it bout it and rowdy rowdy? Are you all that AND a bag of chips? Or are a salty scrub?

Stop trying to make fetch happen. It’s not going to happen!

I mean, cyberspace is at least a genuine term made by Gibson. The rest…
TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
But you’re not jamming with the console cowboys there, as much as I wish that happened.
On an entirely related note, theoretically there will be a Neuromancer TV show next year.

Huh really? That’s exciting! I hope they don’t mess it up. It seems long overdue with all these book/video game adaptations that have been coming out.
