I don't like the current expression "Gives me the feels."

Neato Frito    (which substitutes for 'cool')

(Have I mentioned how much I despise the term "boomer" ???)

 Jeepers , these were all swell. Most of them were real gone.

But when I grew up everything was "neat". (that was soooo neat. He's really neat looking. He has a really neat car, etc.)

I'll take a powder now.

Ed Sheeren was being interviewed:

Ed was questioned about his favourite BTS song. Interestingly, the singer didn't pick the band's chart-topping numbers, but an upcoming track when he said, "I’d say my favourite BTS song is their new groovy song, ‘Permission to Dance."

Groovy is cool, again!

I grew up in the 60s and 70s. I still use "cool", "neat", and "bummer". I never used "groovy".

I heard lots of slang as a teacher. I remember students using Valley girl slang words & expressions in the 80s like totally, gnarly, grody, no duh, take a chill pill, etc. I admit I adopted some of them into my vocabulary. 

In the 90s I heard students use "awesome" & "my bad" a lot. I still use those words once in awhile. Later I remember "sweet" being used. I never used that one. Students used "snap" at school in the 2000s to substitute for curse words. My students thought it was funny when I started using it.
