It started off as a joke, but I now say "Ace" all the time instead of "good" or "OK".

You're almost as bad as the guy who calls everyone "boss".

Smashing. I said it out of nowhere, by accident at a Christmas party and everyone took the piss. Now it's regularly on the menu. I've always said groovy and that ain't gonna stop.

"Shut up you fucking bender!" will never not be funny.

#145 Posted by Sploder (690 posts) - 5 months, 9 days ago

I say rad a lot

also OT: 'dissing'

I think I might start using "scram" myself, good stuff.

#148 Posted by gamefreak9 (2302 posts) - 5 months, 9 days ago

Cool story brov? I dno if its out of date. But I use it once every couple of days. Also i'm a chronic user of 'kickass', though that might be modern... though I have been using it for like 10 years.

#149 Posted by Apparatus_Unearth (2742 posts) - 5 months, 9 days ago

Dope.

#150 Posted by Scrawnto (1960 posts) - 5 months, 9 days ago

Rad - I use it all the time.

Janky - I've used this one for about 10 years now. As a programmer these days, it is more relevant to my day to day operations than ever.

Howdy - I didn't start to use this until after I left Oklahoma for California. I don't know if I felt obligated to be the Oklahoman or what, but I basically use it to mean "How do you do?" which I assume is its origin.

Bummer - Used it a lot as a kid, and it's made a come back in the last year since I try to avoid saying 'that sucks' around customers.

No dice - I heard it on an episode of the Simpsons and have used it since. I get the impression that most people I use it around are unfamiliar with the phrase.

Baller - Last but not least, it's already at least a half decade old, and I say it from time to time, most likely inspired by Ryan Davis and Justin McElroy. QED, it's pretty out of date.
