Not folk stuff (yet), but I'm trying to recall some of the old hipster-beatnik phrases such as daddy-o, reet, threads, zootie-o, man it sends me ... what are some of your favorites? == Johnny

You've got my favorite, which is "Solid, Jackson."

But how about we get in my short and go find some scoff?

Most of then do die, thankfully... But 'cool' seems to have gone fron strength to strength. I wonder why?

Seems many of them have been forgotten (reet), some are still recognizable (cat), and some have become mainstream, such as wheels, track, or pad. Here are a couple more ... nervous (exciting), crib (house), heap (car), reef (marijuana). == Johnny

Does 'groovy' go that far back?

How about 'chick'?

Well, groove meant a recording, like track or cut. Here are some of the musican terms I recall. Make the scene, land on the stand, hep, square, dig, with-it, traps, slide, bongos. And some of the musicians, Diz, Bird, Bags, Trane, Lady Day. == Johnny
