I've been collecting fave 80's words and phrases, and it's interesting how many were regional. If you were in Texas, did you say "danked" for snatched or stole? In NY we said, "scapped" as in "he scapped the rest of my popcorn!" How about "bow-head" for preppie? Also, on the east coast I don't remember this, but did you use the word "Brody" or "Five-O" to describe police officers? What was your favorite 80's phrase? Do you think it was regional, national, or gotten from the media ie: Neo maxi zoom dweebie??? xoxoxo, martha
