#presentación Hola a todos, soy Lito o Carlitos (para algunos el Lobito 🐺) 😂 Soy músico y trabajo en el conservatorio. Pero soy un culo inquieto: #senderismo #montaña #barranquismo #viaferrata #espeleologia #naturaleza es mi oxígeno y #viajar mi pasión. Me gusta la #cultura pero aún más la vida y la diversidad. Me puedes ver en un museo o en una selva quitándome sanguijuelas. Busco gente con la que hacer #aventuras, senderismo, montaña... pero también cultura, ruinas o ciudades nuevas. Y por qué no, una partida a unos #juegosdemesa, si llueve o diluvia 😂
Vivo en Sevilla pero soy de Madrid. Cojo aviones a dónde sea o coches compartidos, trenes, barcos, bicis...😂👍🏻

in reply to Holly Gregorio • • •"It's da bomb!" is one we used a lot which I didn't see in your list. (Means "it's really great.")
I can tell you that "whazzup" was made popular by viral beer commercial that aired during the Super Bowl in 1997 or 98, so using it in a setting prior to that time would be anachronistic.
"As if" was popularized by the movie "Clueless," though was used well before that movie, mostly by girls.
"Sike!" is more of an 80s word, but still used by people my age on occasion. Other 80s terms carried over into the 90s, "surfer talk" like "awesome," "radical," "gnarly," and "bogus," popularized by movies like "Wayne's World." "Radical" was shortened to "rad." These slang were on their way out though, and would have been said more by our older brothers and sisters.
