It sounds like Fred Flintstone would say.

Where I live people still use some form of "bomb". Bomb, da bomb, the bomb, bomb.com, etc. 

Seriously it appears in so many yelp reviews from my area.  

They still use "bad" a lot too. 

I still use "grip" occasionally. It means a lot. That is pretty outdated, but people my age still use it. 

When I get flustered IRL I speak Valley. I use "like" way too much.

I thought my brother had invented the term "sweet" for something cool. When I heard it on tv I'd say "my brother invented that"...

@kstrom22: That reminds me of a few things actually...

One, that my stepmom is certain she invented the term "Hump Day" for Wednesday.
Two, that I invented the term "McJordan Deluxe" before there actually was a "McJordan Deluxe" sandwich at McD's. I had it mentioned in one of my comic strips (not published,  just personal strips made for friends to laugh at).
Three, that my friend and I used to write horror stories for us to swap and read, and one of his characters was named Leatherneck (a play on Leatherface). Later, a G.I. Joe character was released named Leatherneck.

Caps mentioned that attractive women were called "babes", but why is it that boyfriends called their girlfriends "mama"?

"You're lookin' good, mama!"

Or when someone would say a woman is "one hot mama" whether or not she actually had children and was indeed, a "mama".

Slater called Jessie "mama" many times in Saved by the Bell. That and "chick".

Can we open the discussion up to insults?
