Somebody laffed at me the other day because I used the phrase-"He don't know s**t from apple butter." My Uncle Ronnie usta say that all the time-it kinda stuck in my head.
Others-"I reckon". When folks ask me about something I don't wanna discuss-"Why don't you get a hair cut?" "Are you ever gonna stop drinking"-I reckon.
"Groovy"-it's a 60's word that some kids think is old timey-like we think of "the cats pajama's".
"Apes**t"-going nuts.
"Ma'am"-I use it all the time-in stores,when me sweetie b***hes about something to me-and she's right-"Yes Ma'am."
 I got more-but let's hear from you folks.

Man, RC, you bring life to this place.

I kind of say "dude" a lot. In fact when my son was a toddler I had to make myself quit saying, "Dude" to him because he started reacting like it was his name. I used to know this guy in Texas and he had I could almost communicate with about ten different tones of saying the word "dude." There was the awestruck "DUDE!"  the subtle rebuttal of an untruth "dUUde" to a pointedly cheerful greeting: "DUUUUDE!!!!" I hadn't thought about that in a while. He was a trip.

And you know when I was a kid in the '80s we'd say "gnarly" and I still think that's a good word.

So is "choad" which dates to high school. As in, "Gee, Andrea is a choad."

So: "DUUUUUDE, Andrea was one gnarly choad....!!!"

Being a historian, I can trot out some REALLY antiquated ones from time to time.

"Quod sugit!" is Latin for "That sucks!"
I've also been known to trot out "By Jove!" from time to time.

Then there is that wonderful East Texas adjective I learned from my Dad:  "Frazzlin'!!"  As in:  "I can't find this frazzlin' street anywhere!"

A southern friend of a friend uses the term "Finer then frog's hair" and I try to slip it in.

I also use the term logy - kind of like muddled and confused.  I use it to describe how you feel when you wake up but are still tired for a half hour or so.

Also, I just read some a book on cowboy slang from the old days (the book was 90 years old) and I'm going to try to remember a few of the expressions.  A favorite, "He'd fight with you til hell freezes over, then fight with you on the ice!"  and "His tongue was hanging out a foot and forty inches".

I also almost always say "may" instead of"can" when it applies. "May I please get twenty dollars on pump ten?"

I get raised eyebrows but hey, Imma rebel.

The Barbara uses 'I reckon' and 'Fine as frog's hair', but hey, we're old.
I use 'Okie-dokie' and "All-righty.'
Hey, I said we're old...

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
