Rad

Short for "radical," it's a word that needs to come back. Often used in conjunction with dude.

Dude, I can't believe that you memorized the periodic table. That's a totally rad waste of time.

Rad

an outdated slang term meaning "good". possibly still current on the west coast, land of scariness.

if you've used the term rad since since 1990 in any way but to make fun of it, you are a sad individual

Rad

A word that gained popular usage in the 1980s. It is an abbreviation or "radical," and is a synonym or cool and/or stellar. Synonymous with surf bums and teens who think they are still in the 1980s.
