The Fish 11102 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Talking to a mate about how transient language is and how quickly phrases which seemed ubiquitous can disappear almost as quickly as they arrived. For example, "that's The Bomb" "yes way" (as a reply to no way) "Not!" I was trying to think of a phrase that started relatively recently but has endured and couldn't think of anyone in particular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
