What were some of the silliest phrases that you said during the 80s???
I remember saying someone was "calling up ralf on the big, white phone" to mean that someone was vomiting, but I'm trying to remember other bizarre slang from the time...

"praying to the porcelain god" was our euphemism for hurling. That or "throwing up his spleen"...
Most Val speak was lame, and for some reason I was always bothered by the term "buddy", which was basically the same as calling something "generic". ex: "Dude, the new Friday the 13th movie is totally buddy."

Most of them didn't bother me. The "dude, that's totally radical" or "tubular to the max" never bother me.
But "gag me with a pitchfork" was pretty stupid.
I thought riding the technicolor bus or worshiping the porcelain goddess was pretty good.
