Grammar and spelling- a life long challenge for this Dork! It's the main reason I'm on revision 7 of my book. Egads! (Did I spell that correctly?)
Yes, Pocier, neato too!
Tree, I didn't pick up on "sweet" until the nephews came along- now I use it often. Sweet!
"Rad" never quite stuck, though I like it when millennials use it.
"Awesome", unfortunately did stick. Would prefer it used ONLY for things truly awesome.
"Bad" meaning "good" never quite works for me unless the person saying it is truly badass.
"Gnarly"- one of my all time favorites!
Still haven't caught on to "sick". At my age, saying "The newest Dinosaur Jr album is sick!" would be embarrassing!
Others gone but not forgotten: "cherry", and "boss".
Other terms?
buddy of mine uses "groovy" WAY. TOO. MUCH.
I almost never actually say the word "groovy" except, for some reason, occasionally when writing. There is only one person I can think of who got away with using that word and made it sound cool: Jimi Hendrix. (Mike Bloomfield got away with it once or twice too.) And since the estate won't let YouTube play most Jimi stuff, here's Beautiful People sampling Jimi on "Rilly Groovy":

my buddy has been saying it since we were teenagers (complete with two finger peace sign). and he still says it. he got made fun of for it then, and he does to this day. but, it's him.
