Life in the 80's was pretty much way better than life today. Reagan was President, the Cold War raged on, and Dynasty ruled television. Psyche! That stuff was totally bogus.Ace, "That Back to the Future movie was ace."
Bangin', "Did you see that chick? She was totally bangin'!"
Crucial, "I got tickets for Van Halen on Saturday. Crucial!"
Heinous, "That wipeout was heinous dude."
Yello, "Yello!"

Bitchin'. I think my least favorite 80's thing was when people would express an opinion that was antithetical to how they really felt and then tag a big "NOT!" on the end of it.
I got in a big argument with our friend Lucas once about what Bogus meant. He swore it meant "awesome," and that's why Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey was called that. I said it meant bad, and that's why Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey was called that, because they died and went to Hell. What a stupid movie.
All that Jeff Spicoli/Michelangelo surfer shit-talk was annoying, but Keanu Reeves took it to a whole new level. What a twat.
Bogus definitely means bad. But not jokes are awesome. I recently decided to bring those back and have been sneaking them into my vocabulary lately. It's funny to see ppl react to it. They usually act all normal and then a few seconds later they pause and ask, "wait, did you just do a not joke?" It's fantastic.
I think the most annoying 80s slang pharse was "gag me with a spoon." Well, that and the already mentioned "grody to the max." Come to think of it, both pharses are actually pretty equally in their horridness.
Oops. I meant equal in their horridness.
