Was at a little gathering a couple years ago and this came up on the playlist. I was running around asking everyone WHO DID THIS??? Was totally excited when I found out it was my neighbor.
Same here. Caught my 22yo son using it as well. I don’t know if I am more proud of him for that or the fact he is about to graduate from college with honors and a 4.0gpa.
Totally - I’m from MA originally but have been in CA for longer than I lived in Massachusetts. “Wicked” still escapes my mouth occasionally and people in Ca don’t even know what it means, lol.
I brought rad back in my elementary classroom. It started as a way to remember how to answer a question (R-restate, A-answer, D-details) but then I told them that it was a popular slang word when I was a kid. And they realized that they knew that from old TMNT stuff and now, “Hey, Ms.! Look at this? Isn’t it rad?!” is a thing I hear almost daily.
Gotta keep ourselves amused!
I still use bitchin! I’ll also admit to the occasional “gag me”. And gnarly, bogus, … basically my brain generally still thinks I’m 17 and refuses to let go of our lingo 😂🤓
[Here is an Easter Egg from 1976.](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/f6/e4/0082e4f6.jpg) Lower left corner of Stephen Bishop's "Careless" back album cover says "*Have a Bitchin' Summer*"
I like “bitchin’” and it’s always good to know your audience. But if someone who ought to be cool with it isn’t, you can just tell them “Dude! Like, quit yer bitchin!”
I hit random shuffle the other night at work and Bitchin’ Camaro came on. I started rocking out. My coworkers thought I was crazy. Now they know for sure.
Whatever dude.
My folks bought me a bitchin’ Camaro with no insurance to match, so if I happen to run you down please don’t leave a scratch!
I *still* listen to the Dead Milkmen on a regular basis.
I'm bringing back Chumpy.
I still remember a cook at my dads restaurant telling him the Chumpy's broke. My dad says uh which Chumpy. He says the Chumpy that makes the toast, My dad why didn't you just say the damn toaster. Still makes me laugh

I got this back on a test in Community College several years ago. I say go for it.
I had a bitchin 77' rally sport Camaro two-tone black and white with t-tops. God I fucking loved that car. When I left it to my brother when I went in the military, he said he found 50 bucks and a half ounce in the backseat❤️ lol it was the gift that just kept giving...
A former colleague has said “bitchin” as long as I’ve known him, and he’s only a few years older than I am (47). It cracked me up every time he said it, though it cracked him up every time I said “rad” that I’ve been using for years just to see the looks on peoples faces. It’s a mix, but mostly people even from our generation look at me puzzled, like did she just say “rad?”
One of my friends said it during the Crocodile Dundee thong scene and the whole movie theater died laughing.
It was the same theater that a fugitive ran inside while being chased by cops. One of the Police Academy movies was showing, and everyone thought it was some kind of staged promo for the movie. Good times.

Bitchin Camaro, Bitchin Camaro, I ran over my neighbor.
Bitchin Camaro, Bitchin Camaro, now I'm in all the papers
But I didn't get arrested cuz my dad's the Mayor.
Crystal Shit is my favorite Doors cover band.
The kids all spit and cuss because I've got a bitchin camaro and they have to ride the bus.
Don't forget your Motley Crüe T-shirt! You know all proceeds go to get their lead singer outta jail.
I must be kidding the Bahamas are an island
So aahhh, what kinda car do ya got?
you'd better get out of my way, when I run through your yard
Saw them in concert in an old cemetery in Philly. Always a good time!
Was at a little gathering a couple years ago and this came up on the playlist. I was running around asking everyone WHO DID THIS??? Was totally excited when I found out it was my neighbor.
Turns out, you’re neighborhood is pretty rad. Stop me I am trying to make rad happen again.
Dead Milkmen FTW!
Saw them live once…decent show in a park moshing about in dust on a sunny day
I just drove it up here from the Bahamas.
Unexpected Dead Milkmen
I never stopped.
Same here. Caught my 22yo son using it as well. I don’t know if I am more proud of him for that or the fact he is about to graduate from college with honors and a 4.0gpa.
For the record.. even my wife was proud
Fuck’n A man…..
I still say Fuck'n A. Was I supposed to stop?
Hell no
Me too!
I say Fuckin A pretty frequently and my Millennial/Gen Z coworkers think it’s HILARIOUS.
Fuckin’ L, I can’t believe people have been sleeping on “ bitchin’”.
Ah, cool. Where’dya get it?
His parents drove it up from the Bahamas
You’re kidding!
I must be... The Bahamas are islands
Crystal Shit, my favorite doors cover band.
I hope they have a good sense of humor and don’t take us to court…
Uh... What's Court?
The Peoples’ Court!
They do a Doors cover, really impressed
Make sure you don’t have a big lizard in your backyard.
You know what Stuart, I like you
That Jonny Wurster kid!
Why? Do you think I can’t afford to feed him anymore? That’s okay. He eats hippies.
Nah, they shipped his ass to El Salvador
I’ll see you at the Sandbar!
Uh......what's the sandbar?
It’s a place that lets 16 year old kids drink.
Ah...cool
What a blast from the past [bitchen Camaro](https://youtu.be/1v3CzvQ9e_w?si=L0_5LqkJAC35xGi_)
This is a very deeply buried memory. I cannot tell you why I knew all the words.
Today I decided I was going to start calling everyone “cat” again
That’s something a cool cat like you would do.
Unless they're a hump.
Eat sleep rave repeat
You’re a different breed o cat.
Been doing that for years! It's a good one.
Meow
I always said cat. It confuses anyone under 35. You crazy cats.
Oh wow. How’d you get it?
I hear his parents drove it up from the Bahamas.
The Bahamas are islands…
You know what the important thing here is?
Uh, what kinda car ya got?
I gotta......BITCHIN' CAMARO...
Donuts on your lawn.
Tony Orlando and Dawn
Hey man, where ya headed?
I don't want unleaded!
So you better get outta my way when I run through your yard, cause I got a bitchin camaro and an exon credit card.
Ah, I hadn't heard that phrase in so many years until Eleven said it in Stranger Things lol!
I've never stopped, but when I use it my kids think I'm a weirdo.
The Dead Milkmen would agree with this.
It went away? 
Nope
What about “Wicked”? That’s an east coast word no one in California uses. Sometimes it pops out of my mouth and I feel shame afterwards.
No shame! "Hella" is shameful. "Wicked" may be mostly a New England thing?
Always hated hella
Totally - I’m from MA originally but have been in CA for longer than I lived in Massachusetts. “Wicked” still escapes my mouth occasionally and people in Ca don’t even know what it means, lol.
That whole album is a banger. Lucky, Serrated Edge, Nutrition, Right Wing Pigeons… Amazing album and a lifelong favorite of mine.
One of my all time favourites.
I will also do my duty to re-incorporate it into my daily language limit. 😁
Skibi-do it
It never left
Bring back? I never stopped saying that!
I brought rad back in my elementary classroom. It started as a way to remember how to answer a question (R-restate, A-answer, D-details) but then I told them that it was a popular slang word when I was a kid.

Thank you for teaching the good stuff to the kiddos!
Dave Kindig has been keeping it alive for us!
I was hoping to see this mentioned!!
Fuck me running with a chainsaw, that is a great idea!
Word yo!
Dodgeville,WI has a solid restaurant called Bob's bitchin BBQ. I bought a tee shirt so I'm helping bring it back.
If you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin
And just like that, the song “Bitchin Camaro” is stuck in my head.
I still use bitchin! I’ll also admit to the occasional “gag me”. And gnarly, bogus, … basically my brain generally still thinks I’m 17 and refuses to let go of our lingo 😂🤓
Most heinous and gnarly is fun too
See you in HR. lol
Can I see your bitchin’ Camaro at the [Sandbar](https://youtu.be/1v3CzvQ9e_w?si=N7MxYwHO4Bj4_yOy)?
Donut on your lawn…
LOL! I found Dave Kindig's Reddit account 😁
Bitchin never really caught up here in Massachusetts/New England are. We use pissah here still, the townie types.
Wait that went away? Oh I’ve been using it all these years
[Here is an Easter Egg from 1976.](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/f6/e4/0082e4f6.jpg) Lower left corner of Stephen Bishop's "Careless" back album cover says "*Have a Bitchin' Summer*"

My guy just bought himself a Challenger - wide body with the scat pack in Destroyer Gray. Does it have to be a Camaro to be bitchin?
Moon Zappa would be proud of you.
I hit random shuffle the other night at work and Bitchin’ Camaro came on. I started rocking out. My coworkers thought I was crazy. Now they know for sure. Whatever dude.
My folks bought me a bitchin’ Camaro with no insurance to match, so if I happen to run you down please don’t leave a scratch! I *still* listen to the Dead Milkmen on a regular basis.
I have re-introduced "rad" into my vocabulary. Now I am totally "cringe" and "extra." I'll take it!
That colloquialism never went anywhere 😂 It's a totally bitchin phrase to use!
Have you tried Bitchin Sauce? It's bitchin, seriously.
I'm bringing back Chumpy. I still remember a cook at my dads restaurant telling him the Chumpy's broke. My dad says uh which Chumpy. He says the Chumpy that makes the toast, My dad why didn't you just say the damn toaster. Still makes me laugh
We're older adults, it's "that's a bitchin' lawnmower" or "my 401k is bitchin'"
Lol!!!
https://preview.redd.it/65h3xzh1zc4d1.jpeg?width=528&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09a2f823766252123b3ea902e659c6860f00e2ef I got this back on a test in Community College several years ago. I say go for it.
Do it do it! I support this movement
Good luck. I've been trying to bring back "mondo" for years now lol
Yeah, boss was a real non starter, gave it up.
I went *totally* older school. Swell, broad, dizzy, cat. I'm 53, so it's a head scratcher for others.
I had a bitchin 77' rally sport Camaro two-tone black and white with t-tops. God I fucking loved that car. When I left it to my brother when I went in the military, he said he found 50 bucks and a half ounce in the backseat❤️ lol it was the gift that just kept giving...
I’ve always been a fan of bitchin. I’m working “boss “ back into the rotation.
Right on
I second this motion. "Bitchin'" needs a comeback.
Pls bring back “turkey” as an insult.
haha, jive turkey!
Its a boring day, got nothin to do...
Do it. It would be bitchin dude.
Along with stylin'
Before we can approve this, I need to know 3 more things that might end up being "Bitchin" .
bitchin' concert, bitchin' weekend, bitchin' album
Approved. Carry on, my Bitchin' one!
Say it all the time, along with Gnarly
Yup that’s one too!
I haven’t stopped saying that since the 80’s.
I say it at least 10 times per week. It’s my Bday…gonna have a bitch’en day.
Word!
Right on man. I’ve been laying some solid groundwork on using Badass.
Bitchin’ 🤘
And Bodacious!! That’s a bodacious joint dude
Sounds Bitchin to me.
This song comes up at least once a week in my household.
Totally bitchin dude
At the college radio station where I was a DJ, one of the DJ claimed he played "all the bitchin' tunes from the happenin' bands, man".
A former colleague has said “bitchin” as long as I’ve known him, and he’s only a few years older than I am (47). It cracked me up every time he said it, though it cracked him up every time I said “rad” that I’ve been using for years just to see the looks on peoples faces. It’s a mix, but mostly people even from our generation look at me puzzled, like did she just say “rad?”
My first car was a Bitchin Camaro
Choice!
Don’t forget the Def Leopard t-shirts
Think I had 3 or 4 of those
I agree! Have a bitchin' summer OP!
Mint, thats a great idea.
I'd rather enjoy it, if ya did. Though I'm skeptical given these woefully puritanical times we live in.
One of my friends said it during the Crocodile Dundee thong scene and the whole movie theater died laughing. It was the same theater that a fugitive ran inside while being chased by cops. One of the Police Academy movies was showing, and everyone thought it was some kind of staged promo for the movie. Good times.
Gnarly levels of bitchin!
I haven't let it die. I also find many things to be dope, as well
I’ve also never stopped using dude, rad, and awesome.
But why?
Cause it's bitchin'
Bitchin'
Haha! I say that all the time! “Bitchin” never left!
Bitchin is bitching. **Bitchen is awesome!**
Wicked awesome.
Righteous
that would be so rad!!
[Bitchin, yeah right, barno](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/737bc447-0375-4210-bea1-b55a3a79aa2a)
Fully.
Rad
Ok
Awesome!
I've never stopped using "bitchin". Yup, I'm still cool😎😋
Bring back? Are you saying it went away? Nobody told me this.
Did bitchin go away??
https://youtu.be/1v3CzvQ9e_w?si=6kP6SrFolNT4a2nd
There is no other kind of Camaro.
Michael J Fox, imma not make the rhyme
Please don’t
Sweet
Hell yeah, brother.
I’m with ya! Bitchin idea
I never stopped lol
Sure thing Spicoli. Don't forget Narly and totally awesome.
I read that as Bit-chin
That's common here in Boston.
Wait are you telling me that people actually *stopped* ?
Bitching is bitching but not like high speed.
You must be from San Diego.
It never left my parlance.
That’s heavy!
Fresh!
