kowabunga

“Kowabunga” Pronounced: Cow-a-bung-ga

I remember back in the early 1960’s this word was used a lot, especially by beatniks and early hippies. My ninth grade english teacher told me it was Swahili for “How about that.”
She said "I saw a really cool Bogart flick last night." He replied “Kowabunga.”
