Radical. Tubular. Bodacious. Gnarly. Basically anything a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle would have said.

    18 year old daughter just uttered "gnarly" tonight during a horror movie.

    We were shocked!

    God its hard to remember but yes all of those were said completely seriously, not a drip of sarcasm or tongue in cheek. Now it's hard thinking that anyone would say tubular without being completely ironic

    "Tubular" is from surfer lingo right? It makes a lot of sense when you realize they're comparing whatever cool thing you're talking about to a wave like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1mXQaSA3-rE
