When I was in high school (class of'89) we used to use "fubar" a lot which was recycled WWII slang, although none of us knew it at the time.

Thought it was something original and unique to our times. Dumb arse kids!

I remember "cool beans" also, but that originally came from Cheech and Chong in the 70's.

I seem to recall TWSS being an 80's expression way before Michael Scott made it mainstream.

Killer.

I should know more of these - Class of ‘86 - but I’m old and memories fade.

Still trying to figure out what Bouf is...I remember “beef” referencing an insult (as well as bake/burn/cut-down), usually said by third party instigaters. Person A to person B says, “you’re moms a whore”. Person C says “Ohhhhhh, Beeef”. Maybe you mean buff/buffed, as in “jacked/bowed up” (muscular)? Is this just a Cajun spelling of one of these words, or slang that I’m not aware of?

Killer.

Sorry, saw someone beat me to that - I pulled the trigger quickly without having read she responses, and I must say most of you have no clue about the 80’s.
