I've found that I use a lot of words unironically that I started using as a joke. For instance, I've said "groovy" for years, and in more recent years I've added "totes" and "bae." I don't even think of them much, except at odd times when I wonder what people think of me. Then I remember that I'm working on not caring what people think, and I shrug it off.

Are there any words that you use that started out as a joke but they made it into your regular lexicon? What are they? How do you feel about them?

I use groovy, howdy, and will occasionally tell someone that I'm hip to their funky jive. It's best when the slang is well out of style rather than just enough to make you seem like you're just lagging.

When I started school I heard ain't is wrong. My grandfather said ain't. I thought, if he hears me speaking wrong he'll stop saying it. He's been dead almost fifty years. I'm still saying ain't.

I still say cool. Because it is.

I incorporated saying "Motorhead" into my life. It works less places than you'd think.

Oh, let's see: Right on! Rock on! Bada-boom-bada -bing! (As in A leads to B) Schwag, man! (Manny the hippie, thumbs down) Groovy! (me, too) I'll have to be on the lookout for others. Great question!
