he popular phase, "Just let it all hang out."
             Slang talk was a constantly changing fad, most words were only "in" for a week, maybe two. If some one asks, "You got any bread?", the person is asking for money. This term was a common one in the seventies. Here are just a few common terms used in the seventies.
             "Dy-no-mite!" This means super cool. This phrase can be remembered from the television show, Good Times.
             "Far out man." This phrase is used when something is surprisingly interesting.
             "Groovy!" Groovy, is slang for cool. Actor Mike Meyers used this term in his film, Austin Powers, saying "Groovy baby!"
             "Jive Turkey!" A jive turkey is a person that can never be trusted to tell the truth.This would be spoken to a chronic liar.
             "See 'ya on the flipside." This phrase is another way to say good bye or see you later ( Terms of the 70s, Slang of the Seventies p.1-6).
             There was also a term known as CB radio slanguage during the seventies. This consisted of code names to warn others about state troopers and traffic jams. One of the most common CB radio slang phrases was, " Hey good buddy, what's your handle?" This was code for " Hey man, what's your name?" During the seventies, many Americans found interest in citizen band radios. Americans found most use for CBs after the oil shortage in 1973. They mainly used them to spot out speed traps or to inform other drivers of road conditions or safety procedures. CB Drivers were often referred to the state police as "Smokey the Bear." Speeding tickets were called "Bear Bites," and speeding was often called "Pedal to the Metal." If a CBer saw Smokey, he would say, "back'em down." This meant to slow down.
