Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack, and I'm here with my co host Sochil.
And Sochil, today we're going to do a vocabulary spotlight episode, and the topic is eighties slang.
So I have a totally tubular episode for you today.
Do you know what that means?
Yes, totally tubular is like totally rad, totally awesome, right?
Yes, that's right.
Actually, I'm kind of thinking a lot of these are going to be pretty much the same meaning.
So totally tubular just means awesome or extremely cool.
Yeah, totally tubular.
What about radio?
I just used that, so that's funny.
Yeah, rad means awesome or cool.
A lot of these I know, because when I was growing up watching cartoons in the two thousands, I guess it was probably people from the eighties making these cartoons or from the seventies, and so they would include this in the cartoons I would watch.
So I'm like, kind of familiar with it because of that.
So, yeah, even though I watched cartoons in the two thousands, people who were kids and teens in the eighties were using their slang and the cartoons I watched, if that makes sense.
Yeah, you're probably watching like, teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or something like that.
Well, I was watching like, SpongeBob or like.
Yeah, things like that.
Yeah, SpongeBob would definitely be, the writers would definitely have grown up in the eighties.
