 What happened to “far out,” and when did everything become “a vibe”? In this episode, our ladies, who’ve lived through bell-bottoms, shoulder pads, and smartphones, take a lively stroll through the slang of the decades. From the groovy words of the ’60s and ’70s to the totally tubular talk of the ’80s, all the way to today’s “aesthetic” world, we laugh at what stuck, cringe at what didn’t, and marvel at how language keeps reinventing itself.  It’s witty, warm, and proof that every generation has its own way of sounding cool—even if it changes faster than we can keep up.
