    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?

    Spiffy? =)

    I use the word "neat" some of the time to mean "cool" but usually to mean "my room is clean".
    Haha, I am going to start telling my coworkers they look spiffy.

    I use "neat" all the time be mean "nice" or "cool" or "groovy" etc.
    I also enjoy the alternate "neato".

    I made a point of being :no_mouth: on that =)
    I am glad I was saved from pointing it out myself, haha.

    I almost never use the word neat but could care less if others do.

    I occasionally use the word "neat" but only when describing something cool to a child.
    I say "neat" to my kids all the time! LOL
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    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":
