I was thinking the other day of words that have gone extinct, like woolly mammoth or dodo bird. Words like schwing, or jonesing, or saying “not” instead of “just kidding.” Here are some other words we thought of at the Insider Louisville offices:
- as if
- thy
- rad
- grit (referring to a long-haired rocker dude)
- dweeb
- gnarly
- just say no
- skeeza (or skeezer)
- tubular
- winning
- grody
- Madonna
