Get the tumult mug.Late 70s and 80s slang, adj. As groovy and as it gets. Too cool to be just a passing fad, like saying tubular turned out to be.
Derived from a way cool 1973 album, titled Tubular Bells, by Mike Oldfield.
Vals picked up the word and that was the death of saying tubular. If it weren't for so many Vals saying, like tubular that other people associated it with Valspeak, people wouldn't have become afraid to continue saying tubular when Valspeak went out of style.

Even now, Peeps are still grooving to Tubular Bells, and they figured out by the 80s that it wasn't just a passing fad, so anything groovy enough to outlast a fad became tubular. It's too bad saying tubular wasn't tubular.

Get the tubular mug.A slightly outdated term from the 80's used to describe something cool. Stems from the vaccuum tubes in electric guitar amplifiers producing a "tubular" sound rather than the bland tinny sound of the solid-state (transistor) amplifiers which came out in the 80's.
