"Remember the days when a slut was simply a woman who was untidy/lazy "
Or a female dog. I think it may be an Australian term, as a I recall seeing it in the poems of 'Banjo' Patterson (he wrote 'waltzing Matilda', amongst other works)
Slattern is another old term for untidy lazy which is rarely used. |

"On a linked note... What did we say before "LOL" became ubiquitous.?
Didn't so anything we just literally laughed out loud  "
We'd be on the landline, stretched to full reach and actually laugh, down the phone, and actually talk to people. Terrifying.  |

I remember some of the (now horribly dated) slang we used to use as kids at school in the eighties;
‘Fresh’ - Implied that something was good.
‘Rad’ - Again a positive affirmation denoting that one approved of something or else that it was deemed positive in some way.
‘Sucking yer teeth’ - To this day I still do not know exactly what this term denoted but I think it was an insult of some description.

Walking out (as in dating someone)
Couldn't stop a pig in a ginnel (as in being bow-legged)
And I remember when "sick" used to mean bringing up your prawn curry into said ginnel at 3am on a Saturday morning. There was definitely nothing cool about that |
