      I have been saying “groovy” for as long as I have been aware that the word existed, and that’s early 70s

      I say hella every day. Slang accentuates speech and makes it fun, so I use a lot of it. Not an obnoxious amount, though. Gotta get the slang amount just right, just like swearing. It’s an art.

      I don’t use skibidi because it’s too long to easily work into sentences casually. Also it’s a really fucking dumb word that feels wrong saying. Like I tried it a few times and cringed so hard I thought I was gonna flip inside out or some shit. My soul started leaving my body.
