Members Anderton Posted May 24, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Seems like we need to take this to the next level (another cliche) and come up with a totally new word, as it seems stellar has already had its place in the sun. Any ideas? Ideally something music-oriented, but capable of being understood by non-musicians...something like "that's so DYNAMIC!!," but better.

"Have you seen the Echo Park Sculpture exhibit at MoMA? Totally saturated... just blew my mind." Overdriven? "Dude, the surf was completely overdriven this morning. Did you go out?" Brickwall? "Did you see the 3D Imax redo of Kubrick's 2001 yet? Freaking over the top brickwall! Seriously brickwall. My nose is flat brickwall..." All Butttons In? As in an 1176? "Saw the reformed Stooges last night and... holy f... well, let's just say it wasn't like the sorry ass Pistols debacle. All four buttons in bro."

I moved out here for Southern California from the Midwest, and for the first time heard people saying that, a serious WTF the first couple of times I heard that.

Members UstadKhanAli Posted May 26, 2012 Members Share Posted May 26, 2012 Stella... my favorite beer. I was hanging out with Dahkter/Jason from HC last night and he used "word" several times. I didn`t say anything to him but isn`t that like 10 years ago? I was using the word tacky 25 years ago and it finally took root. I`ll take credit for that! Cheers, EB Jay is really cool. We hung out with him the last time we were in NY (2007). I don't know if I've ever said anything regularly like that, although my friend from Illinois noticed when he came out here some years ago that we described beautiful girls as "hot" all the time.

Members blue2blue Posted May 26, 2012 Members Share Posted May 26, 2012 As far back as '65, in my LA suburb neighborhood, "dude" meant then what it means now. An expression of bro'hood. "Hey dude", he said with an almost imperceptible flick of his long, blonde, sun and salt water bleached hair. I seriously don't remember the familial use of dude in OC in the 60s. Phrases like 'some dude,' yes, but usually referring to an outsider. I'll ask some of my contemporaries. Next time I'm at the old folks' home. Speaking of 'reverse slang' (bad, sick, etc, meaning good, et al), in SoCal in the late 60s (and seemingly elsewhere), for several years straight meant you were counterculture, ie, pot and acid-friendly. (Pills, OTOH, were seen as the old, greaser load. Definitely not something a good hippie would do. There was some overlap, but the Seconal-gobbling pillheads didn't have much in common, high-wise, with the potheads and acidheads -- and the culture soon broke that way. Later the pilllheads discovered Quaaludes, progenitor of a pathetic goofiness that apparently fit their spiritual needs to a T. The last thing some spiritual quester with a head full of acid wants is to hang around with a bunch of folks who have chemically reduced their IQ to mid-double digits.)

Betcha I'm the only one here that's actually done that. I was in my 30's, and I don't think trend was set. We put a little skip in their step though.

We put a little skip in their step though. Time changes, when I was a young man we played Bebop, Swing and other 40ties and 50ties stuff in the retirements home for the elderly in southern California.

"Hey dude", he said with an almost imperceptible flick of his long, blonde, sun and salt water bleached hair. Absolutely. Depending on what inflection, of course. "Dooood...." with a downward inflection can also say, "Whoa, that's messed up..." OTOH, "Dude!", often accompanied with a high-five and/or a smile and a nodding of the head can mean that someone was bringin' the stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members elsongs Posted June 3, 2012 Members Share Posted June 3, 2012 Sorry, this trend will not succeed and become a mainstream term. Why? Because when East Coast people say "stellar," people will respond with, "Who's Stella?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
