You'd never hear me using them now, but a couple have stuck around. "Bummer" is one of them. My kids don't look at me funny when I say it, so I guess that one still works!Delynn Royerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156416186978824720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-24878746100013698402015-08-11T09:59:57.966-07:002015-08-11T09:59:57.966-07:00It's so funny how slang changes.

Some is absorbed into our daily language. Even less stays but becomes instantly identifiable with a certain time. Groovey is like "the bees knees." I bet--even 20 years from now--most Americans and Brits will be able to name that decade. (I wonder if we can thank Austin Powers for that? "Groovey, baby!") :)Delynn Royerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156416186978824720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-27992920756908963562015-08-10T10:18:11.725-07:002015-08-10T10:18:11.725-07:00My generation brought "groovey" to the t...My generation brought "groovey" to the table!
