1980s Slang Chart Poster
While this 1980s Slang Chart poster gives me a happy jolt of nostalgia on a gray and sluggish morning, it also makes me feel elderly and moderately embarrassed. Not only do I know every single word the chart points out the 80s gifted the American English language with, but half of them are still part of my everyday vocabulary.
"Rad."
"Spazz."
"Rock."
"Barf."
"Bodacious." Though I try not to say that one around anyone but my wife and mama.
According to 1980s Slang Chart creator Curious Charts, "This guide salutes the greatest decade of verbal artistry ever known." Ha! Big time burn, Shakespeare. You poser. The poster is an 18" x 24" full color lithograph.
