I have a couple. Cool beans, totes, and talk to the hand. And whenever I end up saying at least one of these, my young nieces give me the side eye. And that just confirms I’m getting old…
“Sup dawg?”, “What’s Crackin?”, “Fo sho?”. I swear I’m a white man who was never what anyone would have considered “cool” or even all that into rap at the time.
People know that I am old when I say “answering machine” instead of “voicemail.” How about saying “Xerox” instead of photocopy. Or saying “no problem”, instead of “no worries?”
It’s not slang, but I still find myself saying “book on tape” instead of audiobook regularly. That’s about as outdated as you get given that cassettes haven’t really been used for close to 30 years now.
My 66 year old sister recently called me a jive turkey. Extra funny because we are Scottish immigrants who have lived in the American middle west for over 50 years.
“Bitchin’” is one I use a lot. Also “cool”, “bodacious” (occasionally). I also agree with the “dude” guy. As a minister of Dudeism, I can attest that anyone can be a “dude”. I even call my mom dude.

I still drop “cool” and “rad” way more than I should, and I’ll forever say “dude” regardless of gender or era.

“Cool Beans” is a phrase that has come and gone about 3 times over the past 35-40 years. My kids are using it now.
I use a ton of outdated slang but what sticks out to me is “Sick” and “Hella” or “Hella Dope” or “Hella Sick”
I’m originally from the SF Bay Area and now live in New Jersey. I confuse a bunch of people all the time.

“Bunk” it’s from the 60’s or 70’s, around there. It’s used to mean; poor quality, garbage, very bad etc.
Also I am not from those years. I emerges from the 90’s. Honestly don’t remember where I picked that up
I still say “Sweet…”
My 66 year old sister recently called me a jive turkey. Extra funny because we are Scottish immigrants who have lived in the American middle west for over 50 years.
I still use the ‘Re**rd’ word, but only for the president.
